Today’s children are therefore more focused on some other things than to acquire some knowledge, because knowledge is always available online. I read somewhere that this has the effect of reducing the percentage of the brain we actively use, which would mean that technology is starting to limit us in some way when it comes to cognitive abilities - computers think, and we are becoming less and less intelligent.
That's true, most knowledge now is at the end of your fingertips. I'm not exactly against the evolution we've taken. Someone might be less intelligent because of it, but they have anything, and everything at their fingertips, so are only seconds away from gaining the necessary information to carry out whatever they need to do. They should probably teach how to search properly though. At Tim's I become very surprise and Furious at what some of the extremely rich forks and celebrities get for them kids and I mean toddlers at that. You get to see them with some highly suffisticated devices and I wonder if it's just to make headlines on social media's as its there nature or its actually gifted them. In one instance, you've already built a dependency between that child and the device and it goes on all through life. Making the next generation tech genius at the expense of our cognitive ability.
