Susan Greenfield
- In
- Mind
- Change**,**
- Susan
- Greenfield
- discusses
- the
- all-pervading
- technologies
- that
- now
- surround
- us,
- and
- from
- which
- we
- derive
- instant
- information,
- connected
- identity,
- diminished
- privacy
- and
- exceptionally
- vivid
- here-and-now
- experiences.
- In
- her
- view
- they
- are
- creating
- a
- new
- environment,
- with
- vast
- implications,
- because
- our
- minds
- are
- physically
- adapting:
- being
- rewired.
- What
- could
- this
- mean,
- and
- how
- can
- we
- harness,
- rather
- than
- be
- harnessed
- by,
- our
- new
- technological
- milieu
- to
- create
- better
- alternatives
- and
- more
- meaningful
- lives?
- Using
- the
- very
- latest
- research,
- Mind
- Change
- is
- intended
- to
- incite
- debate
- as
- well
- as
- yield
- the
- way
- forward.
- There
- is
- no
- better
- person
- to
- explain
- the
- situation
- in
- a
- way
- we
- can
- understand,
- and
- to
- offer
- new
- insights
- on
- how
- to
- improve
- our
- mental
- capacities
- and
- well being.
