I recently had to drive from Cape Cod to a suburb of New York City, to a suburb of Philadelphia, to another suburb of Philadelphia - all in a day.
The amazing thing about this trip was - I didn't use a map. Of course, I used GPS. But this got me thinking about the impact of this one, small little technology.
On the positive side - using GPS was super convenient. My brain didn't have to work to calculate the proper route.
On the negative side - My brain didn't have to work to calculate the proper route.
Okay, I'm not a Luddite, but I can't help wonder if all this technology isn't making our brains (and bodies?) more sedentary? By abdicating our mental tasks to technology, what does this portend for our future?
It reminds me of a brilliant quote from Scott Adams (creator of "Dilbert") - "The biggest impact of technology has been to allow us to do more unproductive things at a far more impressive rate."
Which, leads to reason #48 of why I love the piano: It's natural and uses the brain and the body. Then again, so does walking, running, bicycling, hiking, gardening, etc.. Maybe the thought for today is that 'natural and organic' may not just be good for your body, it may be good for your mind too!
Wishing you a natural, organic April.
