In all actuality, I think it is more probable that our bodies will surely
deteriorate long before our minds do in any significant amount.
Who can't say that technology has made us lazier,
but that's the keyword, lazy, not stupid. The ever-increasing amount
of technology that we incorporate into our daily lives makes people
think and learn every day, possibly more than ever before.
Our abilities to think, learn, philosophize, etc. may even reach limits
never dreamed of before by average people. Using technology to
solve problems will continue to help us realize our potential as a human race.
　　If you think about it, using technology to solve more complicating
problems gives humans a chance to expand their thinking and learning,
opening up whole new worlds for many people. Many of these people
are glad for the chance to expand their horizons by learning more, going
to new places, and trying new things. If it wasn't for the invention of new
technological devices, I wouldn't be sitting at this computer trying to philosophize
about technology. It would be extremely hard for children in much poorer countries
to learn and think for themselves without the invention of the internet. Think what an
impact the printing press, a technologically superior machine at the time, had on the
ability of the human race to learn and think.
　　Right now we are seeing a golden age of technology, using it all the time during our
everyday lives. When we get up there's instant coffee and the microwave and all these
great things that help us get ready for our day. But we aren't allowing our minds to
deteriorate by using them, we are only making things easier for ourselves and saving
time for other important things in our days. Going off to school or work in our cars
instead of a horse and buggy. Think of the brainpower and genius that was used to
come up with that single invention that has changed the way we move across this globe.
　　Using technology to solve our continually more complicated problems as a human
race is definitely a good thing. Our ability to think for ourselves isn't deteriorating,
It's continuing to grow, moving on to higher thought functions and more ingenious ideas.
The ability to use what technology we have is an example
