Quote:Nope. My normal cliché answer to smartphones applies here as well: I don't like phones smarter than me, over time they do make me even dumber than I already am.Very valid point... in fact we now have the technology to carry the whole world's wisdom in our pockest, yet it seems that for most people it's just a time-killer tool instead.
It's like giving a real fast car to someone who uses to practice running - now he will loosing some running skills because it's tempting to use the car.
There is a striking analogy to cars, but not the way you described it: modern cars have so many technical aids built in that take over in critical situations, that you don't actually need to know or even practice how to handle a car properly. This is great, of course, and has obviously saved a lot of lifes. However, it sometimes feels that it gives a false impression of safety to many drivers, relying too much on all these assisting systems and probably completely unaware of the physical limits (which I had to learn the hard way in driving school and especially the first years after)
