Google This: The Internet Is Changing Our Brains – But So What?
- jmathes 15y agoSeems almost tautological. Everything we observe changes our brains
- __rkaup__ 15y agoIs there anything more to this article than just that people now remember where information is, instead of the information itself?

- JeffffreyF 15y agoAccess to more information increases the power of abstract thinkers because storing facts in one certain place and remembering where is just abstraction. It may be true that concrete thinkers have power reduced when everyone has less need for memorized concrete facts. Halle-fucking-luya. The idea that Google is making people dumber is as ridiculous an idea as has ever been floated in mass propaganda. They fear the rise of to many educated abstract thinking, anonymously commenting dissidents. Long live Google.
