Is your smartphone making you stupid?

Is your smartphone making you stupid?

Can you navigate without Google Maps? Think your way through a problem without searching for the answer? Trust your gut when the data says something different?

If the answers are mostly no… your phone isn’t making you smarter.

Humans are incredibly cunning. Our pattern recognition is elite. At our best, we are beautifully and stunningly creative. That’s worth protecting.

Put the phone down a few times a day. Make a decision without GPT. Be prepared to get some things wrong.

When something feels off, trust your intuition. Feel your way through.

👉 That’s how you train it. The one thing the algorithm will never have.

The smartphone should be your slave. Not the other way around.

So… is yours making you smarter? Or is it making you stupid?

I suspect it’s both.
