The Rise of Opaque Intelligence

For some time now, as my students can tell you, I've been cautioning against over-reliance on technology.  This may sound surprising from a fellow who started his technology career in the time of card-punch machines, analog computers, and what is arguably one of the most significant advances in computing, the IBM System 360.  And who, by the way, is constantly surrounding by and uses technology.

However, I've noted a tendancy for the species to suspend judgement when technology talks.

A recent post in Marginal Revolution, The Rise of Opaque Intelligence, fits with my thinking.  I call your attention to it at the risk of being accused of conformational bias.
