So much for the Boomer bashing

15. Agreed

I wish I knew more about these topics myself.

I am part of the Google generation myself but I don’t actually think that is a good thing. I subscribe to Nicholas Carr’s views on how having no memory is making us stupid:

Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains! (alternatively Is Google Making Us Stoopid?) is a magazine article by technology writer Nicholas G. Carr, and is highly critical of the Internet's effect on cognition. It was published in the July/August 2008 edition of The Atlantic magazine as a six-page cover story.[1] Carr's main argument is that the Internet might have detrimental effects on cognition that diminish the capacity for concentration and contemplation. Despite the title, the article is not specifically targeted at Google, but more at the cognitive impact of the Internet and World Wide Web.[2][3] Carr expanded his argument in The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, a book published by W. W. Norton in June 2010.

I am myself not that much better except I pass the lowest level of the Dunning Kruger thing and am quite genuinely aware of how shallow a lot of my knowledge is. A moron with a PhD is how I often feel. And that isn’t imposter syndrome. It is the reality that education is suffering due to constant undermining.
