When talking of technology of the future, such as the “implant” mentioned in the article above, I begin to wonder how much of it is invasive or too powerful. I wonder how people will deal with technology that extensive, considering people are already suffering from “information overload” in the safety of their own brains. The act of “thinking about your thinking” is familiar to many of us, yet it could be seen as a state of confusion, and lack of being clear minded.
By comparing myself to older people who did not experience smart phones and 2.0 while growing up, I believe that we learn at the same speed, considering we are all human beings. Of course now we are given more information on the world around us, I do not believe that we have a greater capacity to learn, but I do believe that the average kid is introduced to much more information. Whether they choose to use their resources and exercise their brain is the individual’s decision.
The above link goes to an article called “managing generational differences: school leaders who recognize different needs of baby boomers and generation X’ers can create an organization where all employees are working from their strengths” by Andrew Ansoorian, Pamela Good, Dave Samuelson. Althogh I am neither a part of the baby boomers or generation x, this article is helpful because it describes why there are differences. The reason is that there was a different mood when they grew up, they were influenced by world events, what technology was available, and what movements happened when they grew up.
