Thompson will discuss the evolution of technology, and how it may actually be changing the way we think for the better. He will be drawing examples from his book about global communication and how society quickly learns and retains new information.
Thompson will also introduce the audience to the cast of characters from his book, “Smarter Than You Think,” in order to demonstrate the cognitive shift in thinking that advancing technology encourages.
