Book Reading #43 - Things That Make Us Smart

Chapter 1-2
Summary
The first chapter speaks about the role of technology in the lives and evolution of humans. Technology has come about almost by accident and has allowed humans to benefit greatly in their lives from it. With all the benefit however comes some downside as this author says that the technology inflates our sense of what we are doing while ignoring the things we don't know. Then the next chapter talked entirely on the human cognition and how learning is done.

Discussion
This seems like it will be an interesting book to see how technology is inflating our level of knowledge and how the situation helps improve things.
