RE: [Popular STEM] Curating the Internet: STEM digest for April 24, 2021
Digital dependency is weakening our memories, according to researchers. They call it,
"digital amnesia", in which people are ready to forget important information in the belief that it can be immediately retrieved from a digital device.
Most people may argue that it doesn’t matter.
Who needs to remember all those information if we are getting everything in Google? Well, researchers say, our creativity relies on long-term capabilities and our intelligence is founded on recalling long-term memory. Constant rely on digital technology or internet searches diminish our focus and weaken our aptitude.
Exactly what I have observed in myself. It seems the researchers in that article would disagree with that particular point in Genova's talk.
