same happens to other cultural events, reading ability is not dependent on specific genes. The technology of brain imaging, brain tells us that a reader adapted to logosyllabic writing is quite different, otherwise used to alphabetic writing, to read Chinese using different neuronal circuits necessary to read English.
Dyslexia is the best proof that the brain is not designed to read previously. Other forms of brain organization, although not work well for reading, may be essential for other activities, such as the creation of buildings or the completion of works of art.
The list of brilliant dyslexics is extensive:
" Albert Einstein did not speak much to 3 years and was mediocre on any matter that required the lexical retrieval [...] he even say that the words did not seem to play no role in his theoretical thinking, which reached him through a more or less clear images .
According to some scholars, the effectiveness of the Greek alphabet led to a transformation of thought, to permit the release of stress required to memorize. That was not the idea of \u200b\u200bSocrates, who considered the process of memorization necessary to lay the basis of personal knowledge, to be polished later in the dialogue with the teacher. Far from being a drug for memory, the writing was the real agent of destruction.
there anything in the current era fears reminiscent of Socrates. According to Ray Kurzweil, to the 2020 will have the tools to simulate the human brain, and this makes it possible to combine the principles of human intelligence with the power of machines to store and retrieve vast amounts of information.
"We then able to apply these powerful computing platforms hybrid systems that far exceed the capabilities of the relatively rigid architecture of the human brain "
so positive But would such an acceleration of the processes of thought? In poetry, music and life, rest, pause and slow are essential to an understanding totalizing. Even exist in the brain neurons of delay ", responsible for neuronal transmission stop for a few milliseconds, necessary to sequence and manage perceptions.
The ability to control an enormous amount of information, you can create a false sense of knowledge and thought processes restrict and slow and difficult, but necessary.
Just as Socrates fears were unfounded, the brain deductive analytical reader need not be exclusive with access to a full and immediate visual feedback. As the brain adapts to the compression of several languages, or that the dyslexic bring mankind great discoveries, we are also able to adapt to the challenges of the future.
