The last fifty or so years of having all this technology thrust onto us is a huge experiment in it of itself. It is an interesting thing to watch how our bodies and minds will adapt to smart phones and the internet. Already there are reports of decreased attention span and an increase in insomnia. Also there is the whole notion of separating our faculty for knowledge because we are persistently relying on Google for answers to things. I guess its kind of like the calculator scare where teachers thought students were relying on calculators too much and therefore didn't learn the concepts of the equations they were working with.
