Technology is not making us dumber - Deepstash

Technology is not making us dumber

  • A new paper in Nature Human Behaviour states that technology is not making us dumber. The idea that smartphones and digital technology damage our biological cognitive abilities is not backed up by science. 
  • The authors believe smart technology changes how we engage our biological cognitive abilities. They claim that we are developing different relationships to cognition due to smart devices.
  • While fears are likely overblown, technology addiction and memory problems still need to be addressed.
