Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Internet has revolutionized how we search for all kinds of information. But some wonder whether increasingly powerful search engines and the wealth of information on the Web are making us sloppy and impatient. We talk with thinkers from a broad range of specialties about how our online habits are rewiring our brains and our research habits– and whether that’s a good thing.
