Is Google Making Us Stupid? - 0 views

  • They would be “filled with the conceit of wisdom instead of real wisdom.”
  • emotionlessness that characterizes the human figures in the film, who go about their business with an almost robotic efficiency. Their thoughts and actions feel scripted, as if they’re following the steps of an algorithm.

      Is this where education/teaching is headed if it does not embrace technology for the freedom it offers learners?
