Was at a talk by a theoretical neuroscientist who asserted that GPS dependence will result in more early onset dementia because wayfinding builds important neuron connections.
So that's fantastic.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine My personal preference is, chip me. Put an SD card slot in my cranium and gimme extra short term memory, EPROM a nav system, whatever.
Horse is out of the barn now, let's ride!
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @b4cks4w Learning to read seriously affects our language memory, but I wouldn't say it's caused early onset dementia.
@b4cks4w On the one hand maybe, on the other hand I think we map more information different ways in our head now. Idk if I buy that.
