I think this passage is more relatable than "Is Google Making Us Stupid". The same reasons I didn't like the Google passage are the reasons I like "Get Smarter". I definitely agree with "Get Smarter". The technologies we have today are enhancing our intelligence. Although we may be ADD because of it, it doesn't mean that's necessarily bad. I believe we are better multi-taskers, and that we are respond more quickly to changes in our environments. I think that being so easily inundated in a text or work can be just as negative as getting distracted can be. Since our inability to fully focus coincides with our advancements in technology, the ability to completely focus coincides with the lack of advancement. From that statement I think it is easy to see that, although we are easily distracted, we are also living in ease with rapid information flow. This allows us to lead happy, healthy and productive lives with all the luxuries of the modern era.
