fyi: Carr's 2008 essay in The Atlantic, "Is the Internet Making Us Stupid?," is available on-line: [^].
While I am not a Carr "groupie," I find his writing often eloquent, and thought-provoking, even if he is, often, playing the same melody over-and-over. His blog is interesting: [^].
Yes, I am an internet addict, but my heart belongs to ... printed books.
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

UC Irvine and Australian chemists have figured out how to unboil egg whites – an innovation that could dramatically reduce costs for cancer treatments, food production and other segments of the $160 billion global biotechnology industry, according to findings published today in the journal ChemBioChem. Fine, but if you lot find a way to un-bacon ham and ruin my breakfast, I will be upset.

Unboil me all the bacon and eggs you have.

OTOH if you find a way to unburn bacon you might cause the biggest drop in the number of justifiable homicides world wide in living memory.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

My first thought on seeing this headline in the Insider was, "I wonder what (professional IBM basher) Cringely" thinks about it. Then I clicked the link and saw that IT World had posted a dumbed down version of an article Cringely had written for Forbes[^] which in turn was a cleaned up version of a post he'd made to his blog[^].
TLDR Should've linked to either the original or to the cleaned up version on Forbes; not the crappy content regurgitater repost.

Last summer, Mozilla launched a very experimental version of Firefox with support for web-based virtual reality apps that could be experienced through the Oculus Rift. Earlier this week, support for WebVR also landed in Firefox’s Nightly and Developer Edition release channels. http://thanks_but_no_thanks.com
