Summary:
In this article, Get Smarter by Jamais Casio, he talks about the many ways that humans have evolved and "gotten smarter" over time because of challenges we've gone through. He says that instead of waiting for evolutionary changes to come, we can make them happen. For example, the issue of global warming is very prevalent in the world today. Instead of waiting for evolution to take over to help us survive, we can do it ourselves. With the use of technological advancements in medicine and the internet, it is proof that we have become smarter as a human race.
Reflection:
Jamais Casio does an excellent job in showing how technology is actually proof that as a whole, we have become smarter. He talks about medicine and different forms of technological advancements throughout the article. He also uses examples from the past to make his point. I agree with what he is saying. How could technology make us stupid if we're the ones that created it? The way we evolve is by adapting to our environment and through his article, he explains that the advancement of technology is just the way we have adapted.
Tie in With Carr:
This article was in direct response to Carr's "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" He refutes all of Carr's points about how technology makes us lazy and neglect things we used to do. He says that this is just a way we're changing as people and using technology just makes things we used to do easier. He says that its impossible to get rid of technology now that it's here so it's better to embrace what we have made and the people we have become. There is no way to call technology a bad thing since it has become a part of our everyday lives.
