Issues and challenges to the right to education in the digital age 2016, para. 65
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Nicholas Carr provides profound insights into the deleterious impact of digital devices on our mind and spirit, and sheds light on how this scuttles humanist values in education: "How sad it would be, particularly when it comes to the nurturing of our children's minds, if we were to accept without question the idea that 'human elements' are outmoded and dispensable." Meditative thinking, the very essence of our humanity, might become a victim of this.
