As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.

It is apparent how advancement in technology, leads our generation towards a state of tranquility. It is not astonishing to see how technology updates have aided humans in problem-solving over decades. But one would certainly ask the question,” is the ability of humans to think for themselves deteriorating?”. In my opinion, I would partially agree with the given statement and I would like to ascribe two reasons in support of the statement while one reason contrary to the given statement.
First of all, people have started relying on technology to solve their routine problems. This can be made apparent by considering one of the expanding fields of technology in modern times, “Artificial Intelligence” or AI. What AI does is, it enables a user to input any mundane problems and answer this question based on experiences and earlier data stored over the internet. The question is analyzed and a piece of relevant advice is put forward before the user. With the increase in the marketability of artificial intelligence, people are becoming staler and staler. This is a clear indication of how people have stopped solving problems on their own and their thinking ability to solve problems is deteriorating.
Again, people have stopped discovering answers to new types of questions on their own. This can be explained as follows. A study from a university in California has found that aptitude problem-solving skills among the students in the last ten years has plummeted. They asserted technology as a major reason for this downfall by certain examples. For example, a tool ‘Mathematica’ has been developed to solve complex integrations in no time. Traditional mathematicians spent days and sometimes even months trying to solve these integrations by themselves. On the contrast, contemporary researchers use this tool to solve their problems. This leads to people becoming less creative and later fail to turn up to their expectations. In this way, the study states an important conclusion of how technology is deteriorating the human ability to think.
But a contrasting theory would suggest how this thing has not deteriorated the ability of humans to think but aided to improve it in numerous cases. Considering the number of research documents published in a famous journal last year and comparing it with the number ten years ago, one can easily find that the number has quadrupled. The conclusion made by the journal authority was the advancement in technology. With upgrading technology, scientists find it easier to solve the toughest problems and this provides them with time to solve the next part of the same questions. In some sense, they tend to think more and on a wider aspect in a short period. This has enhanced thinking ability in several cases since they work through several problems in less time.
Concluding, one would always agree on the bright side of technology and how it is helping researchers, but again based on the first two reasons, we can see how technology is deteriorating the thinking ability of human beings.
