The smarter we get the dumber we will end up

The smarter we get the dumber we will end up. Technology is advancing everyday. With the use of the internet libraries are becoming more and more useless. To be honest I have not been in ours in close to thirteen years. All you ever wanted to know is at your finger tips. Which brings me to my next point. There are search engines for everything. If you don't know the answer to a question, they will find it. Critical think seems to be going out the window. And when we stop critical think, that is when we stop learning.
I remember when I was in high school, which was not to long ago. They where more focused on teach us how to use a calculator rather than teaching us how to do the math ourselves. Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally. It includes the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. This is why it needs to be taught at a young age and continued to be taught through out schooling. On the website http://philosophy.hku.hk/think/critical/ct.php. It gives a list of why critical thinking is so important and that someone with good critical thinking skills is able to do.
I admit that I don't read nearly as much as I would like to. Between school, work, and the kids, its hard to find time. By reading, your are engaging your brain. Your thinking and using your imagination. Something that us adults tend to lose as we get older. The right side deals more with visual activities and plays a role in putting things together. he left hemisphere tends to be the more analytical part; it analyzes information collected by the right. It takes information from the right hemisphere and applies language to it. http://www.tbiguide.com/howbrainworks.html. If your just sitting watching TV your brain is not functioning as well as it can.
We are becoming more and more reliant on technology. If we continue to do as we always do, I think that we will end up something like in the movie Wallie, where machines do all the work and we lay around getting fat. Doctors are always saying how important it is that we workout and eat health. All that I'm saying is workout your mind. Make it as strong as I can be.
As far as the whole booking burn thing goes, I don't think that its going to go like that. I think that we are simply not going to make books any more. Everything is going to be on computers and TV. The books that we do have are going to be useless.
