Interesting read, the internet and short form articles have definitely decreased my memory and attention span.

I recommend the book 'The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains' by Nicholas Carr for more on this topic. Somewhat related, the 2005 novel Accelerando by Charles Stross explores the concept of offloading parts of our neural processing and memory to technology and is very prophetic as good scifi tends to be.
