The author argues that the development of technology has led to the fact that people have become more dependent on it, but at the same time they have lost their ability to think critically and independently. The book "Почему жирафы не стали людьми и другие вопросы эволюции" by [Author's name] is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between technology and human evolution. The author posits that as technology has advanced and become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, humans have become more dependent on it, but have simultaneously lost the ability to think critically and independently. This phenomenon has led to a loss of autonomy and self-determination, resulting in a society where individuals are no longer able to make decisions based on their own judgement and values. Instead, they rely solely on technology to guide them, leading to a loss of personal freedom and creativity. The book begins by examining the history of technology and its impact on human society, from the earliest tools to the present day. The author highlights how technology has evolved over time, from simple stone tools to complex digital systems, and how it has shaped human culture, communication, and interaction. However, this progress has come at a cost, as humans have become increasingly reliant on technology to the point where they cannot function without it. The author argues that this dependence has led to a decline in critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as a loss of emotional intelligence and empathy.
