Enrique Dans's article examines the evolving understanding of technology's impact on older adults' cognitive function, suggesting that smartphones and internet use may be linked to a reduced rate of cognitive decline, contrary to some earlier beliefs.

The piece cites a meta-analysis supporting this and mentions a mobile app showing cognitive benefits. Dans questions the widespread demonization of technology, arguing for its potential as a positive force when used appropriately and its importance in the modern world, even advocating for AI in education.

The subsequent comments section discusses various aspects of technology's role in society, including its effects on different age groups, the debate over digital currency, and the balance between technology's benefits and potential drawbacks.
