Mind and Machine

Mind and Machine:
Quote: "A few weeks ago when I visited AT&T Labs, I sat through a presentation on data visualization. I realized during that discussion that too often computers are used to replace human thinking, instead of trying to enhance it."
Comment: I certainly see a similar concern in learning/education. Too often technology is viewed as a replacement to traditional learning and education...instead of seeking to enhance and extend it. What is it about computers and technology that makes us view it as an "other than"...rather than a part of?
