QUOTE Satellite navigation systems can stunt your brain, preventing it from developing, according to scientists. They have discovered that taxi drivers have actually grown more brain cells because of all the knowledge they keep in their heads.

Makes sense to me. People lack problem solving skills these days because they are too reliant on technology

I can barely do simple math in my head since I started using scientific calculators in high school.

so would you say people are less knowledgeable with technology? give me a freakin break. instead of scientists sitting around with slide rules taking days to do calculations that take seconds now, they're making new discoveries and delving deeper into their respective fields.
back when our parents were in high school, people were geniuses if they took trig, now that's a friggin junior high class, with some people have 2-3 years of calculus before they graduate. taxi drivers have more brain cells... whooptiedoo, they're still f'n taxi drivers. |

All Im saying is that the average person (not talking about scientists and math gooroos) takes shortcuts in life like GPS systems and calculators so that they can avoid using their brain. People are stupid. They dont want to do anything for themselves. I like to do things that are challenging so that I feel a sense of accomplishment....even with small things like finding my way using a map instead of an automated voice that steps me through each and every curve in the road.

Yes people are born with smarts. Every person has a certain brain that can do certain things. In the same way, some people are naturally bigger which makes their bodies better for lifting weights and training. So it makes sense if you think of the brain as a muscle. If you don't use your brain then it turns to mush. There are retards everywhere but they were born that way. If you got the brains try and use them instead of relying on machines to do the work for you...
They say the same thing about music. Kids who are involved in music get higher grades then kids who are not. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

this is true... i remember our 1st band (the best group) had a collective gpa much higher than our school's average.
i think there's some studies somewhere now that say kids who play complicated video games turned out smarter too. |

Wait, let me take that back. at least half of the people fit the mold. The rest are freelance people who enjoy those activities. Then again, I dont know.

Could be, I will look up the survey later. It depends on if it was a random research survey or not...
