GEDI / Grad 5114 – Fall 2015
When reading this article I laughed so hard. It has many contradictions and makes no sense. The author gathers some biological evidence and pretends to use them but does a bad job at it and misses his goals. The author definitely did not convince me how Google is making us stupid. He definitely reminded me that […]
If we want to summarize the way we’ve been learning in universities and schools since we were young, we could say that it was mostly just a matter of passing down the knowledge from the older generation to the new one.
