Augmented Intelligence

 If computer augmented intelligence was truly a new stage of human evolution, by now humans would have evolved ploughshare hands or evolved to have horses’ legs from all those centuries working the countryside. A major strength of humans is that we DON’T get too attached to our tools. We can use them then lose them, and move on. The original information revolution people were a little too obsessed by their own importance. Thank you for computers and smartphones and internet but we reserve the human capacity and right to drop it all when changes come along and we need to move on. Shut off the electricity supply and I still remain a complete person. No evolution would stop that.
