I really agree with you on your first statement... Telephones are ruining our lifes and our brains.
The fact is...when you let a machine do your stuff, what happens is that machines will slowly improve their skills (ex. machine learning) while we slowly lose our skills. The worst effect is that we became lazy, we don't want to use or effort our brain, just because we have a machine that can do the hard work for us. And this is VERY BAD!!
We are filling up with lobotomized people... most of the kids are unable to do simple mathematical operation such as additions or subtractions without using a calculator.
This new generation is the worst that has ever existed on planet earth... and probably will be one of the last ones...

Moreover we are losing our natural ability to interact we each other in person, we tend to live in our separate virtual world made up of social networks and this is EXTREMELY BAD!!

People needs to talk in person to each other more often and try to collaborate and share their thoughts, because another problem related to the virtual communication, is that you can easily misunderstand what other person really mean, while is very hard to misunderstand a person in front of you.

I probably can talk on this topic for hours...
Thanks for this post.
