Every time we see this argument “this frees humanity to focus on higher things”
and then we see what actually humans are spending more time on,
- not books
- not people
- but mobile
- senseless entertainment (2-3 hours daily on mobile )
- social media
If we stop using a part of brain, and that function (say memory or calculation) donwe actually use it ever again ?
Or we are becoming more and more zombies ?
So much so that most people are incapable of reading a book,
Or even watching a 3 hour movie.
Say what you may, but this extra time is not being used for meaningfup stuff.
Devices are becoming smart and our brains & bodies are becoming dumber.
Simple way to know if a high school student can stand against high school student of 90s ?
Or even researchers or programmers ?
In depth of thinking and agency.
I want this to happen but real world evidence is not saying this.
