How is the Internet changing how we think?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about how the information age is re-shaping our minds, memories, and relationships. Those who are optimistic say we're becoming more sophisticated in our capacity to learn, remember, and network. Others argue that Google is making us stupid and distracted. How has the Internet changed you? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. How has constant connectivity affected your ability to process information? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar.
