Is the Web helping us evolve?

The truth lies somewhere between "Google is making us stupid" and "the Internet will liberate humanity."

    Editors wanted

    Dear Salon,

    You didn't do David Brin any favors by letting stand his weird punctuation and portentous sentence fragments. I gave up after the first page, and I'll read just about any goofy prognostication about the Internet. Maybe I am a crank (and I admit to being an English professor and a professional editor), but my point is that Salon usually does a lot better than this.

    So, in that spirit, I hope you will keep up the good work.

    Cheers,

    David Robinson
