renamed the Age of Lost Intelligence? This is the age that many in my opinion may call the "Digital Age" and it is no surprise that this could be a true statement as we see computers becoming more advance, business is being done online more than ever, cars are evolving from just a car to a brain with wheels. Even our TVs are using digital technology to enhance the picture, to give that show your watching a "realistic" feel, and everything that we watch can be recorded with the push of a single button, and can be stored in the hard drive of that DVR or TIVO to be placed onto disk later. Phones are becoming smarter and it seems the only thing they can't do is fry an egg or teleport you to a different place.
With everything running on electronics and digital devices now, do you think we as a human race are losing our intelligence, and do you think we are becoming too dependant on electronics? Think about it - we as a human race have evolved so much that we now use devices such as the GPS to get from point A to point B without so much as thinking about how you actually got there. We now use DVR's so much that we become furious and lose sleep over one show that could not get recorded. Instead of using paper and pencil to figure out a complex formula we simply put the formula into our phones and like magic it solves it. This is great and convenient BUT have we actually begun to forget HOW that formula works or HOW that formula was even solved and what it actually means.
Do you believe that we as a human race, are we losing our intelligence in problem solving and survival while become highly dependant on digital things?
