"Kids nowadays are just not as smart as we were at their age" OR "These kids don't know anything without looking it up on their phones or laptops."
Not everyone agrees...in this book, Clive Thompson reviews myriad technological innovations and shows how they made us smarter! From Gutenberg to Vannevar Bush to Alexandra Carmichael, Clive demonstrates that perhaps not all is lost when a new technology changes the way we learn about the world and ourselves.
