The decade Google made you stupid

Technology has changed your brain over the past ten years, mostly for the worse. Douglas Rushkoff on Internet-driven ADD, virtual-reality delusions, and how computers changed how you think.

The results are a bit scary. Not only have computers changed the way we think, they’ve also discovered what makes humans think—or think we’re thinking. At least enough to predict and even influence it.

Here are the four things cognizant people should know about the decade when computers mastered our cognition.

Fake newspapers are back!

On November 27, 1960, Yves Klein and the Nouveau Réalistes created a ‘fake’ newspaper, Dimanche, and distributed it in Paris for the day. It was a ‘call to action’ to the public to participate in experimental events. Clever photomontage techniques were used to create a representation of Klein ‘leaping into the void’.

On July 4, 2009, the Yes Men created a fake New York Times and distributed it in the streets of New York for one day. It contained ‘fake’ good news that readers would want to read about. Clever digital techniques were used to make the print version of the newspaper.

Final Presentation & Report

The final presentations will be held next class: Dec 2. You have 10 min max. to present. The whole class will be presenting on the same day, therefore we may go about 1 hour longer.

Please address these points:

• Did you have a transformative experience over the internship?  how you may have changed since starting the internship?
• how you may use the skills that you’ve learned in the future?
• do you have goals for continuing with the internship? was there an on-going relationship that was developed? have you developed a network of contacts that will benefit your practice?
• comment on the working relationship with the organization, working in a collaborative environment, the organization’s flexibility, the organization’s communication about the projects
• how your expectations of the internship changed over time? (what you ended up actually doing vs. what was initially proposed.)
• mention the tasks and accomplishments that occurred after the midterm presentation.
