tools that change the way we think

To me, there are two ways to see this:
1. Technology can disarm us from thought. Instead of somebody going through the process of figuring something out, they search it on the internet and suddenly thinking becomes an inconvenience. We learn indirectly and it shines a different lights on knowledge as a whole. To quote Good Will Hunting: "If I asked you about art you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo; you know a lot about him... but you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling."
That applies to our generation, where people think they know something because they have the information about it. Someone may know how tall the Eiffel Tower is when it was built and how long it took, but they don't know what it feels like too see Paris from 1,063 feet.

2. Technology is ultimately improving how people learn and communicate and find information about things, etc. Blah blah blah.

  1. Plain but simplistic blog Kevin, I give you props in making your clothing store as a high school student and I know you will go far in life through your creativity. How do you plan to collaborate with you lit circle members?http://dannytbuuluu.blogspot.com
