Get Smarter, says The Atlantic
A great read in The Atlantic about how we’re already augmenting our intelligence with what one biologist calls “exocortical technology” to manage an increasingly complex world:
In any case, there’s no going back. The information sea isn’t going to dry up, and relying on cognitive habits evolved and perfected in an era of limited information flow—and limited information access—is futile. Strengthening our fluid intelligence is the only viable approach to navigating the age of constant connectivity. — Get Smarter, theatlantic.com, July/August 2009
