This document discusses the impact of technology and digital culture on how people process information and think. It notes that while technology has accelerated progress, overreliance on technology risks creating "a generation of idiots" without critical thinking skills. The document outlines different thinking styles like literacy/logical thinking versus audio-visual/holistic thinking and argues that digital culture requires a new blended approach. It emphasizes that technology enables changes to information processing but that people must choose and think strategically about what information to trust.
