Summary:
With the huge rise in technology, it is helping our world an easier place to live by freeing up our time. This is done by automating repetitive tasks so that we may focus at more important complex tasks. This automation, although helpful, also has the potential to make us dumb. An example that comes to mind is being dependent and using a calculator so much that when it comes to easy math without a calculator, you take a bit.
Chapter 2
Summary:
There are many different methods and ways in which we learn. The different cognition that exist within this learning are experimental and reflection. In experimental, simple tasks get transformed into complex ones requiring more thought and problem solving. Reflection works by reflecting on an event or activity after it has happened to learn from it. There is also three different types of learning. One is accretion which is the sum of information. Tuning is another method that requires one to practice the task. Finally restructuring involves forming the correct conceptual models.
Discussion:
I agree with the first chapter as I sometimes find myself to dependent on technology that i need to use it in order to think. I also agree with the ways the different learning methods are described. I have found myself using different methods to learn or sometimes a combination.
