"Get Smarter"

"Get Smarter" (by Jamais Cascio) was basically about how humans can learn to adapt to their surroundings over time, and can eventually get smarter from the way the world changes. Cascio did point out that in "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" that Carr is correct when he says that the internet is making it harder for us to think, but that is something that people can overcome and change. I did like the fact that Cascio says that if technology continues to develop that it could eventually begin to work with our brains and help us obtain information that's useful to us a lot faster. That way, by using technology, we will get smarter instead of losing intelligence. By using the resources around us, such as the internet, or different drugs, we will be able to focus our thoughts and become smarter.
