This is a good book to start thinking about how. Cognitive psychologist Norman searches for humane technology and just plain user-friendliness in the paraphernalia and artifacts employed in everyday life. With intelligences now darting though cyberspace, Norman can differentiate between the human and the artificial kind. They're just different, each with different innate abilities. People are better at language, the arts and emotions that make life worthwhile.
Technology is better at such things as logic and mathematics, both invented artifices.
Norman's presentation is eminently accessible, with incidental insights into such matters as primitive office procedures, and why, for addition and subtraction, Roman numeration is superior to Arabic. As he notes, books are one form of technology. Television is another. Lots of things make us smart, Norman points out.
