How Digital Technology Shapes Us

Professor Indre Viskontas of the University of San Francisco points out in the 24 eye-opening lectures of How Digital Technology Shapes Us, we are not the first generation to worry that new technology will harm our children. Since the beginning of recorded history, we have been underestimating the capacity of the human brain to adapt to and take advantage of emerging technologies. The printing press, the novel, the telephone, even writing—when each of these was first introduced, they were derided as if they would ruin civilization itself. And yet, more often than not, how these inventions changed society was far from predictable.
