So back in the day, when we invented writing, there were undoubtedly a core of intellectual stalwarts pointing out this new-fangled technology would weaken our ability to do the absolutely fundamental work of memorising tens of thousands of lines of epic poetry. And if so, they were right! We can’t do that anymore. And ditto for spellcheckers, spreadsheets etc - all taking on some of the intellectual muscle work and consequently allowing us to let some stuff atrophy.
Even so, it is still surprising, and kind of appalling, to see the scale and speed at which people are outsourcing some quite basic elements of thinking. Like counting up dice, or understanding an email. How dumb do you need to make yourself? In real danger of ending up like these guys.
