That's a great example too! When I moved to Denver, I made it a point to study the map before I went anywhere and then try to get to where I was going from memory. Helped me learn the city much more quickly than if I hadn't done it.

[@junior.von.claire]

Thomas Frank In 2017, I moved back to the southeast after living in CO (Westminster, SE Denver - Glendale, Aurora) for 20 years. Navigation is awesome, with tons of advantages, but you’re right. Leaning on technology means exercising our minds less. I am nearly 50 years old and recall growing up without smartphones. It was unreal how many phone numbers every single person had memorized. We were walking contact lists. Before speed dial (and the early years saw phones with only 3-10 numbers and weren’t mobile), not knowing a number meant finding the white pages (residential, with blue pages at the front for government) or yellow pages (business) and that took time, assuming you could find a book (or pay phone... with correct change on you) at all! If you couldn’t remember a number, calling someone you knew usually accessed their memory or them looking it up for you. MUCH better today but the point is correct as to what the brain can manage when exercised. WORK IT OUT! 🧠👀🏋🏻‍♂️⛷🤸🏻‍♂️🏊🏻‍♂️ No part of the body is so vital, as it all begins with the mind. We even use it while sleeping. Always use, and promote, helmets where appropriate. There’s no motorcycle helmet law in CO. I believe in freedom, so I reluctantly agree with the law. But consider how much freedom means after brain damage. ✌🏻

[@bronchialaktivbalsam3830]

Lol, when I am in a new town, I try to use GPS but when I look at the map, I am just like, nah, too lazy and I try to find it myself because I roughly saw the map and most of the time, I find things better that way.

Accidentally, I just happened to walk out of the library to pull my phone and watch a KZbin video on the process of fatty acid oxidation that I couldn't understand form my textbook, but instead I procrastinated and decided to click on this video, and thanks to you I've decided now to skip the video and challenge myself to find out how it works without relying on a video to explain it.

[@luccsi880]

Personally, I think that the video explaining fatty acid oxidation wouldn't hinder your brain. You still need your focus to understand what it explains. It's not an immediate answer to a question - videos explaining more complex things like that (from what I've seen) usually work more as a teacher, to make you understand the process rather than getting an easy answer without truly understanding. But I hope you did get it on your own anyway, since that was your choise! I just hope that people will remember using internet to learn isn't bad. It's numbing only if you search for quick, easy answers rather than attempting to understand the reasoning behind the answer. Don't be afraid to use the internet as a tool for your learning - just use it correctly!

[@elenasreadingcorner]

@@luccsi880 I agree. And not all books are created equal so some of them are perhaps badly written or explained and hearing another explanation from a different mind might actually do you good and keep you focused on the task

We did lose something when we transitioned from oral to written, people used to memories everything meaning the info was in their head not in the book so information couldn't be banned if someone knew it as long as they were alive that information lived with them

[@JoyFay]

And we had better memory too.

[@EggEnjoyer]

Mary phoenix541 You're framing it in a way as if we've become less because it. Really, writing things down allows humans to keep knowledge for generations. Things get lost through time and tongue, but stone will for a decade. Also there's a lot of things about humans that have degrades due to technology. Like humans didn't always need shoes, but our reliance on them has literally effected our evolution. Same thing goes for weapons that kept us from ever developing any kind of claw or sharp teeth

[@Coaching-is3pz]

Excellent point. That's another reason learning another language is good for the brain. It pushes you to increase your ability to memorize. Now back to Icelandic verbs I go!

[@rockjockchick]

True, but not having things written down has meant SO much knowledge lost from elders of tribes now extinct. IE: a tribe in the Amazon was being studied by researchers. The elders told them that a fish in the river was a type of salmon. The researchers scoffed. Their fat egos were in the way. There was no way it was a type of salmon they said. 10 years later biologists figured out: it was a type of salmon. And all the knowledge was gone that fast. All the young ones had moved to the cities to make money and didn’t use the old language or remember the old stories. They weren’t needed in their new lives, and their kids certainly didn’t. And the elders were all dead or not fully there any more. So yes oral tradition is super valuable and there are amazing things that come from skillful oral storytelling, but documenting something in writing is also valuable in very different ways.

Actually we lost a great deal in moving away from oral tradition. We became very bad at memorization and retelling. We off-loaded much of our own thoughts to writing. We also lost social identity, since ideas could now be transmitted impersonally.

Thats true, anything that reall matters, you put energy into

[@gtw4546]

I disagree. Many components of problem solving carry over from one problem to another. Generalized problem-solving skills are atrophying. Telling yourself "I could do it if I wanted to but I don't really care" is just an excuse for being lazy. You don't need to learn how to solve "A problem," you need to learn to be a "problem solver."

[@Nathan-tg4gu]

@@gtw4546 No. Problem solving isn't a skill. Solving problems is the aftereffect of using particular skills that allow you to solve particular types of problems. Each category of problem requires its own unique approach and knowledge. Being able to fix a flat tire doesn't mean you can manage your finances.

[@gtw4546]

@@Nathan-tg4gu Wrong. Skills are the aftereffect of being able to solve problems. Solving problems requires four basic steps: 1. Understand the problem 2. Make a plan 3. Do the plan 4. Look back and learn Your plan can be to hire someone with the skill set you're lacking and learn from them.

[@Nathan-tg4gu]

Maybe this is just semantics. The issue here is that a skill is the present capacity to perform a certain task. When that task is the solution to a problem, one possesses the present capacity to solve that problem. If problem solving is a skill, then possessing that skill, by definition, entails the capacity solve any problem at a given point in time. Clearly that is impossible, which means problem solving isn't a skill. The better word is LEARN. Learning is a skill, and that actually makes sense, because people can BECOME competent in those areas they devote themselves to.

Amazing video, Tom! I've actually been thinking about this in recent years how we as a society/world are getting mentally lazy and not being able to retain information as long as we used to. We're not able to think as well for ourselves, because we can get easy answers online (even though they aren't always correct). I think also shows when you travel and go to countries where internet is limited, you can see that people are more efficient and able to act faster/smarter vs. more modern cities where people have to look up something. Heck, I've literally even seen doctors look up information on their phone in doctor's offices here in recent years. I agree with your point about repetition. Tech is not going to go away, not even in the slightest... so the only way to beat the mental laziness is through repetition, practice, and challenging your mind through activities/reading/games/etc. Love the video!

My mister and I stopped googling when we couldn’t remember the name of a movie, actor, etc. We pretend it’s the 90’s and actually wrack our brains now in the name of exercising our brains. 😂 Glad to hear we’re onto something!

Wow, this video was super impressive. Not only the topic, but the cinematography and editing.
