How much longer will the human race study to memorize? How much longer will places like Middleton library be jam packed with stressed out, coffee filled youngsters staring into books and computer screens? At the rate of which internet access is progressing, why should we internalize facts and dates when we can just ask Siri on the spot? Computers are just huge brains that regurgitate the information that humans would otherwise have to memorize. If we afford to spend less time memorizing, would we be able to better develop our affinity for critical thinking and for understanding each other? If this theory holds any validity, humanity could really evolve and become more advanced.
