There is a lot of controversy around whether or not technology is making us dumber or not. Can you still remember your phone number? The phone number of your spouse? Your favorite 10 friends? Everybody? That is very unlikely nowadays. Simply because you don’t need to recall these numbers. It’s not relevant in modern culture and therefore we discard it from our brain.

In this featured video, on OUTtv, Josh Rimer explains his top 10 reasons, why he thinks technology makes us dummies. Enjoy!
