Yeah, well, it's somewhat inevitable at this point. So again, the key is to be intentional about it. I mean, there is the danger that some of our native abilities will atrophy if we become too dependent on our devices. For example, there's research showing that people's ability to navigate through space really does decline if they become too dependent on GPS and those kinds of

those kinds of technological solutions. On the other hand, there's so much that we're able to do because we delegate, you know, routine mental tasks to our devices. Like you don't have to remember phone numbers anymore. And so you have more space in your mind to do things the higher level things that only Mike's brain can do.

So we need to think of our devices as helpers, but not as replacing the mental activity that is really best suited to human intelligence.

Well, it definitely is the case. Sometimes you'll hear in education people saying, well, kids don't need to learn facts anymore because they can just Google that. But that is absolutely wrong. As you're saying, we need a foundation of knowledge and skill that is stored in our minds to become masters of any kind of domains. But

The fact is that the human brain isn't really that good at remembering basic information like phone numbers. We forget things, you know, or we mess them up. And computers are better at that. Once we enter something into a computer, it usually doesn't change the way our minds can sort of betray us.

So it's really a matter of learning to think with machines, learning to think with our technology and letting them do what they do best and then reserving for our own brains what our own brains do best.

Well, thank you, Mike. It's been a real pleasure talking to you today. I really enjoyed it.
