Fluid intelligence doesn’t look much like the capacity to memorize and recite facts, the skills that people have traditionally associated with brainpower. But building it up may improve the capacity to think deeply that Carr and others fear we’re losing for good. And we shouldn’t let the stresses associated with a transition to a new era blind us to that era’s astonishing potential. We swim in an ocean of data, accessible from nearly anywhere, generated by billions of devices. We’re only beginning to explore what we can do with this knowledge-at-a-touch.
As history has shown, in software, this limitation, however ethical it may be, is close to useless in protecting the inventor. There are only so many basic inventions in software. The most notable ones are word processors, spreadsheets, databases, and the graphical user interface (GUI). This means that if you invent the first spreadsheet, the UI may be copyrighted and the particular implementation of the functions behind it can be protected. But, this does very little in protecting you against some other guys writing a spreadsheet which is more user friendly, calculates faster, and provides more functions, even though you were the inventor of the spreadsheet.
They can choose to engage in deep thinking activities. Too much of anything is not good for any one, and this also applies to internet usage. Scholars say that the price of technology is alienation and that this indicates that the more distracted an individual becomes, the less able they are to experience human emotions such as empathy and compassion. It is still too early to tell what the results of the future effects of the internet, but as Carr states, “An intellectual technology exerts its influence by shifting the emphasis of our thought. As the brain adapts to the new medium, the most profound changes will take place over several generations’
Presented in the argument above, the author claims that a new store should be built in Plainsville. The argument seems at first glance to be a reasonable decision. After a careful inspection, however, one will find that it suffers from several critical flaws as follows, rendering it logically unconvincing as it stands. The threshold flaw with the argument is that the author unfairly assumes residents in P (Plainsville) do highly concerned with leading healthy lives, upon which he finally draws his conclusion. Although the author offers several facts, which seems to be compelling to substantiate his conclusion, these facts actually lend little credence to the author’s claim after close scrutiny.
Nicholas Carr is the author of the article “Is Goggle making us stupid? Google proponents say that it’s not, they say that we don’t have to use our memory as much as before. Thanks to Google we have more time now to daydream or brainstorm. Or that we can see Google as an huge external hard disk for our brain. Carr thinks that this is bullshit.
Brennan (2009) argues that ‘the NHS may be viewed as unprepared to deliver such a fast-paced, radical and extensive modernisation program.’ The risks and uncertainties on embarking on the world’s largest civil IT program should not be underestimated. The reality of delivering such a program without significant unforeseen issues, delays and need for change from the original plan would be unlikely. The NPfIT program has delivered some major benefits to users of IT systems in the NHS, but still has a long way to go to fully integrate information management between organisations. More importantly, gaining the support and trust of clinicians in order to begin delivering the kind of benefits to patient care and service improvements originally aimed for will require a change in culture not seen before in the
Future of Policing Proposal CJA/214 February 21, 2013 Boris Robinson M.A Policing Proposal There are numerous skeptical theories regarding as to why implementing new procedures or trends into policing would be beneficial however, the pros and cons are rarely comprehended or sufficiently judged. Some examples of current studies toward future policing are drone technology and aerial surveillance, and biometrics. Many people and agencies obviously have their opinions both negative and positive. Adverse theories mainly consist of available funds for research and development and its consistency. Knowledge does not come easily or cheaply and the research revolution in policing is the product of a large
Kirby and Marlowe suggest that CBT has shown substantial gain in the field of substance abuse, due to its person centeredness and brief treatments. (Kirby and Marlowe, 1997, 422). Due to its effectiveness, adaptability, and success in various areas of mental health problems, (CBT) has become amazingly popular. The brevity of the therapy is also appealing and
Gilberto Pena Brent Jackson English 122 19 June 2013 Evaluation Argument Daniel Boorstin in his writing “Technology and Democracy” disputes that the human interest in technological advancement does not always lead to solutions but rather more troubles. As humans our society is always in search of bigger better a newer ways to improve on our standard of living, what we fail to observe is what Boorstin disputes in his article. Boorstin believes that we in fact are actually losing more than we are gaining but fail to recognize the problems that are to be had with new technological advances. As fascinating as Boorstin’s ideas may be suggestive of at first glance, his ideas on technology aren’t all that correct. Yes, we may desire
The management of the therapist’s counter transference, through the containment of the group’s projections, is related to positive therapeutic outcome. Self-awareness and self-care are crucial in counter transference management. Regular consultation with a co-therapist or supervisor/consultant can also be very useful. (Association, 2007) I have found it very difficult to research the effectiveness of a non personalised induction in hypnotherapy as all the evidence shows that personalised inductions are far more effective, the only time that it would be difficult to produce a personalised script is if you were to hold a group session or produce a CD or video to focus on a certain situation such as to stop smoking, fear of spiders etc. Personalised inductions are more effective as they treat each person as an individual, in order to do this you need to assess the client, it is important that you have to try to find the most effective way to communicate with your client so that they get the most benefit from the session, in order to do this you need to take into account the clients modalities, explained below.
