As we increasingly outsource memory and cognitive tasks to devices (“digital amnesia”), our ability to focus—key to learning—diminishes. Should we worry about this shift or embrace a world where technology leads and we simply know where to find information?
In this entertaining and interactive session Dr Anastasia Dedyukhina explores how :
