You would get lost if you did not use GPS while driving downtown. You find it difficult to read for longer than five minutes, without looking at your phone. Would you have trouble writing a grammatically-correct email without Google's auto-suggested corrections?
You may be wondering if your abilities are diminishing as you become more dependent on technology.
Graham Lee spent many years pondering this idea. He is a digital skill educator and appreciates how technology can enhance abilities. However, he fears that our increasing reliance on artificial intelligence and algorithms may be robbing the core of our being.
Lee is the Author of Human Being: Reclaim the 12 Vital Skills we're Losing To Technology. Today on the show, I discuss some of these endangered skills including navigation, reading and writing, craftwork, and solitude. Lee provides case studies that show how these skills are essential to our humanity, how their loss is important, and how they can be reclaimed and restored.
