Are We Thinking Less? The Hidden Cost of Smart Tools | Oscar Shelton | TEDxCranbrookSchools
In a world powered by GPS, search engines, and AI, convenience has never been greater, but at what cost? In this thought-provoking talk, Oscar Shelton explores the concept of cognitive offloading: the growing tendency to rely on technology to do our thinking for us. From calculators to ChatGPT, he reveals how overreliance on tools can quietly weaken memory, problem-solving, and critical thinking. But this isn’t a call to reject technology, it’s a call to use it better. Through practical strategies like metacognition, active learning, and intentional tool use, Oscar challenges us to rethink our habits and reclaim control over our own minds in an increasingly automated world. Oscar Shelton is a Michigan-born student as Cranbrook Upper School, receiving an education in various subjects. He has been involved in various programs in the Detroit area involving STEM and youth empowerment, and is dedicated to improving his community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
