What would it feel like if we took an hour today and stayed away from any technology device? I think it would be difficult. Smart phones have become a part of our hand. Some can’t drive a mile without picking up their smart phone and checking it. If we slide the smart phone to the side, there is an iPad, laptop, or TV to takes its place.. Information comes streaming towards us at a frantic pace from an array of sources. We don’t have time to process all the information before the next wave rolls in. The information overload may be forcing our minds to consider ways to simplify things. We may stop critical thinking and rely on other people to tell us what to think. We may, for example, listen or watch people who have a large digital presence spout nonsense which we don’t question because we’ve surrendered our capacity to think critically about what is being said. We lock on to the personality and not what the personality is saying. It may be time to turn down the volume and flow of information and let our minds rehab so they can once again become our critical thinking defense.
