Thousands of years ago, the Greek were already complaining about the fact that writing things down instead of remembering them and repeating them orally made them dumber. And they were right, it made them lose some memory strength, but it made them much more efficient.

Technology is turning us into not just dumper, but also lazier people. We  can't even finish a conversation with real human without being interrupted by tech. Our kids are growing up without books but instead with iPad games and PS. They don't even have to bother remembering or learning anything since they can just Google it. We are relying on technology too often.
