Episode Summary:

Welcome back to Current Thoughts! Today, J and D dive into a question that affects all of us: Is technology making us smarter, or is it making us lazier? Technology is everywhere—helping us learn, problem-solve, and connect. But has all this convenience made us too dependent? Let’s break it down!

Topics Covered:

  • The ways technology has improved intelligence and problem-solving
  • The downside—are we relying too much on tech for simple tasks?
  • Information overload: Are we consuming or actually thinking?
  • How technology is changing social interaction and communication
  • Finding balance—using tech as a tool for growth instead of a crutch

Key Takeaways:

  • Access to knowledge doesn’t automatically make us smarter—it’s how we use it.
  • Over-reliance on technology can weaken critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Social media connects us, but it can also make us feel more isolated.
