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. The next chapter talked about how little details in cognition play a role in how we perceive things. The way information is put forward could allow us to fully understand or confuse a situation. Also, the next section showed the importance of pattern and structure that information must have in order to create good memory.
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. The way the human mind works is very important for us as a species to learn and know as it could help all of us in the long run. This knowledge can be exploited and used for good research and learning purposes.
