I Google Everything

I heard somewhere that technology is making us dumber. Like, we don't use our brains to solve problems any more, we just rely on technology. But when I want to learn something, i will Google it and get my answer! So in a way, isn't technology making me smarter? I guess it all depends on how we use it. Like TV!

I guess Google is good for information, but it's not good for creativity. I think that's what the show said, too: technology is bad for our creativity. Like, we don't allow ourselves to get bored anymore so our brains have a chance to come up with new ideas. We just go online!

@cherryblueberryraspberry why isn't google's information index good for creativity?

explain.

also why technology also? please explain how technology is bad for this.

cite sources, on how this has not reformed how we do things and connected those with like minds an brought on progress in this valued format which i believe has increased and diffused creativity.

@sighmeupforthat There was this show on TV called America Inside Out. That's where I heard this info. Maybe this is what the show meant: Like if we didn't have all this social media and screens to go on all the time, maybe instead, we would all be sitting around thinking up cool stories to write or unique products to make or incredible artwork to create?
