> we think, read and remember. As The Wall Street Journal put it, “We  
> all joke about how the Internet is turning us, and especially our  
> kids, into fast-twitch airheads incapable of profound cogitation.  
> It's no joke, Mr. Carr insists, and he has me persuaded.” Join us  
> for an evening with one of the world’s leading writers on the  
> implications of technology.
