The author argues that as we rely more and more for machines to help us think, our thinking itself is becoming richer and more complex. We're able to learn more, retain it longer, to write in curious new forms, and even to think entirely new types of thoughts.Outsmart is filled with stories of people who are living through these profound technological changes. In a series of postcards from the near future, we meet characters such as Gordon Bell, an ageing millionaire who is saving a digital copy of everything that happens to him, and Eric Hovitz, one of the world's leading artificial-intelligence researchers, who is creating software that is designed to let your computer sense your mood and then predict when you're going to be most productive at work.Lucidly written and argued, Outsmart is a breathtaking original look at our Brave New World. 517 $aSmarter Than You Think 676 $a303.48/33 700 $aThompson$b Clive$01449398 702 $aCummings$b Jeff$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148909803321 996 $aSmarter Than You Think: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the Better$93647654 997 $aUNINA
