I saw a segment this week on the Today show and it made me think of this class. It was talking about the fact that baby boomers have better memories than those who are under thirty. This was due to technology. They said that technology was making them dumb. I thought it was interesting that those who should naturally be more forgetful could remember things that happen better than young people. One would expect the younger generations to be sharper minded. It also makes you wonder what will happen to people as they age. Alzheimer's seems to be more and more common. I wonder if the lack of exercising the brain can have an effect on this disease. The segment joked at the end for the young not to forget their memories( their Blackberries,etc.). It was humorous but scary to think about too as we have more advanced technology to make our lives easier everyday. Maybe someone will install brain builders into treadmills. We could exercise our brains along with the rest of our bodies.
