#technology makes us dumb

Have you noticed yourself struggling to spell simple words in recent times? It happened to me and I realised it was because of the usage of suggestions in my phone keyboard. I am a heavy texter and with more and more texting I started losing accuracy in spellings.

When we use ‘suggestions’ we do not have to recall the spellings of words and thus the neuronal pathways linked to words’ spellings fade off with time. Our memory depends upon recalling/ using the stored information. The less we use something we are going to lose it.

Try switching off the suggestions.!
