Technology Is Changing the Mind

As time runs out, work gets piled up, and just a few hours before sunrise, you stop and notice that you have just read about 50 pages and hardly absorbed anything. Some people will agree when I say that this situation embodies the common problems of the Internet generation. With the help of the Internet, not only will every aspect of life be faster and more effective, but the way people process information and perform tasks also changes. In addition, technologies have advantages, but the spread of the Internet has an impact on people's thinking.

Clive Thompson explores these exciting themes in his book "better than you think: the way technology changes our mind" (2013). Computer technology has extended the majority of human capabilities, from storage and digital computing to false discovery and social networking. Thompson's view is that technology advances have created potential pitfalls, but they are often used aggressively to help us become better people. Did you use a mobile phone alarm clock to notify you to open a meeting? Or do you want to post brainstorming questions on facebook and brainstorm? Or do you see the story online? Or do you use healthy recipes or home remedies found on YouTube? If so, you have already experienced some of the advantages of proper launch techniques.

There is no doubt that technology has changed our lives and has improved in many ways. Access to similar ideas on a global scale, ability to communicate far away, writing, research tools, etc. can broaden the scope of thought. However, some people are worried about smarter phones, and we become foolish. Many people check their phone 85 times a hour, once a minute or more. How do they do? Why is this subconscious check? This may indicate that you can not deal with "not doing anything" for a short period (or more) so you can think about it alone, or you can not feel uneasy. Maybe our equipment will pay off occasionally. We found a great article and got a news book. So, we will check to see what I missed. As Sharon Begley said:

* Since I had to review the book in class, not the comment of the classic "Emily", I posted a report in the scholarly book about this novel. Book Report: wiser than you think: the way technology changes our mind is smarter than you think: a nonfiction book by Clive Thompson. Thompson revealed that this is not a book on how neuroscience and technology rework the brain. So, if you are looking for it, you will feel disappointed (page 13). This is a book on how human beings become Centaurs (p. 18). Centaur is a mysterious creature, a part of it, and a part of it. Thompson said that when humans use technology, they become hybrids, become human, become part of technology, and wiser than both. Because humans are using smart and self-enhancing technology, they are better recipients of information and learners even if they are not actively using technology (p. 18). This book is divided into 10 chapters.
