I’d rather have a “bicycle for the brain”, so it can go farther, function better and be healthy rather than a crutch or replacement for key functionalities.

Right now, I see a lot of tools and interfaces that make it lazy - mostly consumer level stuff. Perhaps Krug’s Classic “don’t make me think” was taken too far. Perhaps a new book, “make me think better” would be more useful in improving human critical thinking capacity and expanding the human experience.

"Bicycle for the brain". Now that's one of hell of a metaphor.

At least it wasn’t the final name of the computer.
