Will technology makes us smarter??!!?

Look, I love technology that makes work, and life, a little easier. I know I'm not the only one either. In fact, more and more we depend on smart technology to do a lot of things. Smart technology is any device that we interact with that does some form of thinking for us. In many ways it's great. It often saves us time, keeps us on task, and alerts us to the important information we need. But it is quite obvious every good thing has an evil side too! The downside is that I've noticed that as our dependence on technology increases, our actual productivity decreases. I think technology is really good at making it easier to stay busy, but busy isn't the same thing as productive. You would like to know an average person checks their phone about 100-150 times a day, and I am sure we cant stay productive checking our phone every 10-12 minutes!! It's true, technology has allowed us to do some pretty incredible things. I can't argue that it has allowed us to solve previously insurmountable problems, but at a very basic level, all of this smart technology has made us dumb. Mostly, I think it's because of how much we now depend on it for even the most basic things. 

Quick, tell me who was the first woman to be CEO of a Fortune 500 company--without using Google.

Well here’s the thing you can’t that’s what I am trying to say !!

Secondly, those app notifications are no less than drugs, and I am not fooling around! science has proven it,  Research has shown that this constant stimulation on our devices raises the dopamine in our brains, which basically means they are like drugs. Have you ever sat in a restaurant and looked around? Of course not, the last time you were in a restaurant you were busy looking at your phone. But if you had, you would have seen a bunch of other people who were doing the same thing. staring at an illuminated screen. 

Technology has made the world smaller in many ways, by bringing us access to the world--in a device that fits in our pocket. Also, I wouldn't publish very many articles if I had to travel to New York to hand them over to an editor in person. Technology has certainly made this part of my job easier. But it has also increased the space in our relationships to the point where we don't talk, we Slack.

Maybe the first step is simply to recognize that the more we surround ourselves with smart technology, the more dependent we become. Digital conversations are very different than real-world conversations. When smart technology helps remove barriers to communication, that's a good thing. But when we substitute technology for relationships and real conversations, it has real-world consequences.

Technology has certainly changed the way we work, but I think we should pay attention to how it is changing us because I'm not sure it's actually making us more productive. conclusion, though the technology is advanced

and makes our life a little easier I don’t find that it is making us smarter anyways.
