Finally, explain which side you agree with and why.
here is the transcript
"There's n othing smart about personalized intimate technology. It simply confirms our misplac ed ideal that the world revolv es around us.

Smart technology has made us smart in some unexpected ways. It's made us more responsive. It's made us more engaged.

What we've created, in other words, is an environment that is constantly frustrating our mind's ability to create deep knowledge into think deeply.

This is the greatest time in human history to be wanting to know. There is no better time. The access to information has never been this free.

We're losing that contemplative deep focused attentive state of mind that is crucial to the creation of knowledge, the creation of intelligence, and deep thinking in general.

In this age of constant distraction-- we can't focus-- we're watching seven years of Game of Th rones, the most complex narrative that we've ever seen in our world. Our universities are turning out experts and scholars who are deep into their topics-- deeper than ever, because they can go that deep because of the internet. We are knowing more and better than ever.

What we're losing is the sub tlety, the depth, the sophistication of thought. In an odd way, perhaps we're becoming like machi nes. But that, in an odd way, as well makes us du mber than we once were.

There are lots of things that people do with technology in this current moment that may not rise to the bar of tenured faculty and book writers. That doesn't necessarily mean it's dum b. What is d umb, and what is lying underneath that judgment? Buried in that is notions about what is appropriate disco urse, what is sufficiently merit-worthy.

We're not all broadcasting these deep thoughts. Were sending out links to sill y videos. We're going-- spending huge amounts of time on Fac ebook. We're spending lots of time on T witter, sending Snapc hats.

We've never had an opportunity like this, the ability to participate in the creation of knowledge. This is the smartest age we've ever had."
