tools that change the way we think

tools that change the way we think

 

Internet, media, and technology change everything, from the way we live on a day to day basis right down to how we think. A lot of this has to do to the information that is coming to us. Prior to the internet the best way to get information was word of mouth, books, newspapers, and television. But even then we were still in the dark about most things. I'm not saying that technology has opened the blast doors on information, but it does allow us to see a lot more than we previously could (even if it is filtered to some degree).

 

But still, something that changes the way we think isn't always positive. Besides getting a plethora of new and perhaps relevant information, how much of the web is wasted on cats, Justin Bieber, and social media. It's ironic, because in an age where we can be even more active in the world and take stands for what we believe in, we instead get stuck in the narcissism of social media.
