Is this why we play so bad in bridge? Or is bridge a solution?

When Gutenberg invented the craft of printing, it had a huge impact on our thinking.
When movies were invented, it had a huge impact on our thinking.
When radio broacasts began, it had a huge impact on our thinking.
When TV was introduced, it had a huge impact on our thinking.
If you want to waste your time, you don't need a computer. (Trust me, I've wasted time since 1983.)

Ole's got it right. Every advance of culture and civilization has had a huge impact on our thinking. Not just media, but religion, societal structure, agriculture, etc. And these things all interact with each other.

It might be that he simply needs to add some Bridge play and Chess to his surfing. Perhaps that is what has kept me from becoming a Twit(wit), I don't know. But I cannot find the attraction to fast, shallow, pointless. Make mine slow, thought provoking and pointless please ...

I think spell checker in MS Word is changing the way I type. I now type with gay abandon, then right-click on mispelled words and choose from the alternatives offered. It's somewhat akin to the effect the calculator had on my mental arithmetic capabilities. But perhaps I'm gaining elsewhere.

When my grandmother was a young, it was a usefull skill to be able to milk a cow. Now we have a machine for that.
When my father was young, it was usefull to be good at calculus. Now you just need the rudimentary. There's a machine for the rest.
When I was young, it was usefull to be able to remember phonenumbers. Now I have a Nokia for that.
