The process of "learning" can't be forgotten Whoops, sorry to blow your entire argument out of the water, but this entire paragraph is pure bullshit. """ Don't worry, the "we should eschew this helpful technology because our minds would atrophize" brigade won't be deflected by any such trifles as common sense, science, or realizing they're spewing BS.
