>Our phones are making us dumber I never really liked this very generalized take. My phone has been amazing for learning how to fix things (and typically quickly). That would’ve never happened if I needed hard copy manuals/books (which almost no one ever has around when they need it). I am able to find many quality media sources that offer different levels of quality and perspectives, as opposed to just keeping cable news on all day to tell me what to think and feel, all curated by one entity. I learned how to search and identify results I need or want, which is a skill in and of itself. Phones do not simply make us dumber. They make some things harder, some things easier, and of course, require responsibility on our part.
