Abstract

We have to be careful now that technology is doing much of the routine thinking for us that we do not lose our ability to do so, with effective ways to communicate this, as it is now needed at higher levels. Awareness of the process of how we rationalise, process and express thoughts coherently in language structures is vital for our survival, in order to cope with the many issues continually facing us in our complex world now dominated by technology. Before analysing the issue of technology let us refresh ourselves on how the thinking process happens.
