Your Outboard Brain Knows All

These days, scientist have recently researched that young people as compared to the elders are less capable to anamnesis their personal information. Latest technologies have made lives easier such as mobile phones, which can be easily taken outside and is used for the purpose to store contact numbers. In this way our brain is used lesser infact now days more than half of America relies on such devices especially younger generation. People don't even make an effort to remember anything. The point is that human's have entered in a bionic world with out even observing the fact which is the latest technology ruling over our brain. It has been proved that machine helps to rediscover things which a human brain hesitates to do so, "it's what author Cory Doctorow refers to as an 'outboard brain' (Thompson)." For instance if an individual needs to work on something he or she will simply search it on internet without even bothering to think about it once or twice. If you have notice that sometimes when an individual watch a movie, the story remains there for few days but then eventually we forget about it but after some years we do remember it again, have you ever thought why? it's just because the intelligence of a human brain. The power of biotechnology has changed the human nature or in other words it has hyperbolically affected the nature of an individual. As the author stated that "We're running out of memory." However, such technologies are used to satisfy a human, physically and mentally. (Thompson, Clive, Sept. 25, 2007).

Following are the reviews of few people on this article, "That is so true. I can no longer separate the internet from my own brain. I don't know if that's a "good thing" or not. I even link URL's together in my sleep. As far as network surveillance goes...I hope that everything I've done HAS been recorded somewhere. If it has, it's been a great service to humanity. If not, it's been a lot of time wasted" (Unknown, October 22, 2007). "If you go to pay in cash for anything nowadays, the cashiers get flustered, say for example, you give them $11.35 for a $6.35 purchase. They have to try to figure it out the old fashioned way, not rely on what the computer states as change. Most younger cashiers get frustrated with this, and at times can't do it. I always told my children to use their brain first, then the calculator if they needed it. I taught them how to give change the old fashioned way too! They understand why now, when they see their friends trying to figure something out without a machine." (Monarch, October 22, 2007).
