Is the new digital age messing with our brain?

For my PLN this week, i'm writing about an article i saw called "Do digital diaries mess up your brain?" It talked about a new invention called the SenseCam, that can automatically capture photos of everything you see and do all day. Now-a-days most people rely on their iPhone's, Blackberry's, PDA's, etc., to keep track of appointments, important dates and maybe even memories, like a digital diary.

Using computers to find facts about a certain topic for school isn't a bad thing, just as long as the brain is being stimulated in other ways. Using electronic devices, helps to clear the mind, so the mind can concentrate on other more importain things in life.

I can relate to this becuase i've written in diaries and i've even made an electronic one on my computer, and i always put important dates in my phone, becuase usualy i would forget all of that stuff, like a friends birthday. So i think its important to have a phone of some kind or at least a personal computer, so you can have an electronic diary. Now-a-days alot of people don't want to write, in the future i see people being very lazy' technology will be so advanced that people will be able to talk to their computers and have it write an essay for them. TVs will be remoteless and you could talk to them as well.

In my opinion, technology is good, but its a privilage, i don't think we should abuse it.
