Question

What is Margaret Simmons’ claim in the argument on "Your Brain on Technology"

Answer 1

Answer:

The claim that the article makes is that technology devalues and decreases the quality of people's brains.

Explanation:

The article shows how technology allows information to be obtained very easily, which discourages our brain from reflecting and seeking an answer through reflection itself. This decreases the quality of our brain and our ability to be thinking and rational beings capable of reaching great conclusions. In addition, technology has spurred online reading that is not as promising as reading in a physical book. That's because reading online is full of distractions that prevent our brains from concentrating and obtaining the necessary information.
