Offloaded Thinking

SMARTPHONE QUOTE

I have outsourced a portion of my very thought processes themselves to my phone.

It would be the height of arrogance to think that this region of my mental capacity, road navigation, was the only portion of my thought processes affected by the smartphone. And it would be even more ignorant to presume that some people in the country haven't outsourced even more of their thought processes to their phones than I have.

As a society, we have started placing implicit trust in the media brought to us by our phones, which tends to herd us into Echo Chambers.
