Get Smarter

This article took a more optimistic approach to the growth of technology and use of the internet than the Google article did. I thought the drug modafinil was interesting and it did remind me of  Ritalin and the other medicines prescribed for ADD. I am definitely someone who considers the use of those medicines cheating and do not agree with the statement "everybody's doing it, and if your're not, you're probably falling behind". I did agree with Cascio's prediction of how political debates will be in the future. He said that arguments will be more intense but held together with reasoning over opinion.  Overall I personally related more to this article than "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" because Cascio realized that this technology is not going to go away and we will learn to adapt.
