The Impact of Technology on Critical Thinking

As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, the way we interact, communicate, and even think is undergoing significant changes. Some argue that the reliance on technology is degrading our ability to think critically and engage in deep reflection. Others believe that technology enhances our cognitive abilities and allows us to perform complex tasks more efficiently.

Consider the implications of technology on our cognitive processes and whether it fundamentally improves or hinders our capacity for critical thinking. Do we become more intelligent because of technology, or do we risk losing essential skills as we become more dependent on it?
