I was watching 'We are all cyborgs now' Ted talk by Amber Case about the impact of technology on our evolution. I found it quite interesting and if you do as well then you might want to read Andy Clark's 'Supersizing the Mind' book, which is very relevant and provides much deeper and detailed insights into workings of the human mind.

"Supersizing the Mind is tantalizing in many respects, and Clark's ingenuity is always on display. Just as his earlier Being There launched many a research project, we expect that Supersizing the Mind will inspire a new generation of philosophers, psychologists, and artificial intelligence researchers to reconsider some basic assumptions about the mind."–Lawrence Shapiro and Shannon Spaulding, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
