DESCRIPTION:Kick back for the insider's scoop on Facebook, then find out what the 
 Internet is doing to our brains, for better or worse.\n\nThe Facebook 
 Effect\nDavid Kirkpatrick, Journalist; Author, The Facebook Effect\nMichael 
 Arrington, Founder and Editor, TechCrunch - Moderator\n\nKirkpatrick traces 
 the story of the most powerful social networking tool of our day from its 
 humble beginnings to its role as an international phenomenon. The Facebook 
 Effect is the only book written with the full cooperation of Facebook 
 founder Mark Zuckerberg. Started only six years ago, Facebook can now claim 
 more than 400 million users and a potential valuation of $100 billion by 
 2015. Is an IPO forthcoming?\n\nWhat Is Google Doing to Our 
 Brains?\nNicholas Carr, Author, The Shallows\n\nIn conversation with Peter 
 Norvig, Director of Research, Google\n\nIntroduction by Josh McHugh, 
 President, Attention Span Media; President, INFORUM Board\n\nCarr writes: 
 "Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface 
 like a guy on a Jet Ski," in his Atlantic Monthly cover story, "Is Google 
 Making Us Stupid?" He will share his theory on the Internet as the culprit 
 against civilization's progress, making the case that the Internet has 
 diminished our ability to think deeply.\n
