Some of it would be brain training. If all your answers are a click away, you’re going to lose your ability to think.
That’s why I’m really against computers of any kind being used in the school system. I’d rather read a neatly handwritten paper than a printed one from a word processor.
BTTT
Between smart phones and AI no one will have to do much thinking. Their brains will petrify and atrophy. Or if they are young, their brains will not grow with dense neurons. Their brains will be like a glob of lard.
In about 20 years, maybe sooner, the only thinking people will be Amish (the real ones).
Everywhere one goes, there are people, especially the young, clinging to their phones as if they are life support systems. They act as if they cannot separate from their phones for even a minute. It’s really annoying and pathetic to watch.
I was homeschooled, grew up without a tv, and didn’t get a smart phone until I was 18 (or want one). I don’t use X, instagram, pinterest, etc. Love books, can’t stay away from libraries. The phone is mostly for keeping tabs on my properties and my boomer parents.
Smartphones. The worst invention by man ever.
I agree wholeheartedly with the comments in this post. Smartphones have taken the place of book-learning. And sadly, students of today don’t have any use for the old fashioned DICTIONARY! Why look a word up when you can just ask your phone!
