I think Nick Carr makes the best case for the "deep vs. shallow thinking" arguement, but it still falls short. His assertion that we've lost our ability to think deeply is in fact the opposite of my experience as a teacher and as a learner. I think web 2.0 tech allows us to move beyond the more superficial and mechanical approach to information. We are now free to be a lot more creative and integrative in our thinking.
