Dumber & Dumber day by day!!


                           

Every day we are creating and encouraging a culture of distraction. We are increasingly disconnected from the people and events around us and we are progressively unable to engage in a long-form thinking process. It could be that we constantly being on our smart phones, or using a calculator for the simplest math problem.

Problem: <<< literally a problem…. No kidding
54/9 = …..Let me get my calculator

Are we relaying too much on technology; to the point where we are unable to think for ours? I know that everyone has this thought in mind; it’s just that no one actually say it out loud.
My brain is constantly battling itself; one side is saying that it’s ok, while the other demands me to stop relaying so much on technology.

Left brain-
It’s okay. The world is changing-everything is technical nowadays. If we don’t catch up with the latest technology we will fall behind.

Right brain-
NO NO NO! It’s NOT okay! Our generation is relaying TOO much on technology. To the point where we are becoming incompertent without it.


---So, what are your thoughts and opinions?? Do you believe that we can somehow manage to limit our usage of technology to where we can balance between the two??
