Books will made you retarded, you won't need your memory anymore...
@binkle
Huh?
I don't think you got my point at all. Our brains are plastic in order to use all tools more effectively. As soon, as we can free some space, it will be used by a different function.
Do we have a shit memory? Yeah. But our logic, multi tasking and planning should be better now.
It's the difference between a worker and a manager. Our brains need to learn how to manage tools, but as a result, one manager will ALWAYS get more work done, then one worker.

end racism!)
They used to call this "outcome-based education."
Why does a kid need to learn math if he can just use a calculator?
Well, it turns out that learning to do math--and not just using a calculator--has a massive, positive impact on cognitive ability and synthesizing new ideas.
Otherwise the kid can just use the calculator, sure, but then without it he's mentally worthless and uncreative, nothing more than a thin client for the machine. The proverbial useless eater.
@LukeAlmighty @trogdor @binkle @vic yeah, a man would not have enough brain to use a calculator, he'd just flail helplessly
