Reviews for Future Minds
futurism but present day facts
This is a fantastic look at what computers, the internet and social networking in a digital age is doing to our brains, our intelliect and our ability to be.
It is on one hand an exercise in futurism but on the other it is an uptodate analysis of the facts as they are - and the truth is that this is scary.
On one level we are on an IQ basis more intelligent than ever before and yet at the same time we are functionally illiterate and unable to comprehend or pay attention for the longer periods of time needed to do real study, real social analysis and real development and this looks likely to continue, is basically what is outlined in this book.
The great thing about this book though is that it is written in such a way as to be easily read and comprehended even if you are of the screenager mentality, and believe me this book needs to be read, to be thought about even if only in short bytes! because somewhere in here is the question of what do we want to be and can we be who we want to be and do we know who this is? not small questions but deeply important ones. by melanie carroll
