I think that, throughout history, human uses of technology has changed greatly. Technology enables us to do more work, an incredible amount of work when you consider computers and other electronic devices. In just a short period of time, we have witnessed the same phenomena in new ways. We have replaced our own ability to complete certain tasks in the outside world. In addition, when we humans are replaced kn our ability to do something by machines or computers, it often seems that we lose that skill. We do not forget it completely, but certainly to a great degree. One simple example is my feeling that I have lost my ability to calculate after I started to use calculator and computer on a daily basis. Such occurrences remind me of the law on the conservation of energy. When something else replaces a human's latent ability to accomplish work, they stop exerting their minds and we lose those abilities. I did some thought experiments and compared this phenomena to medicine. If I took medicine when my stomach churned, and the medicine worked, that means the medicine did its job in curing my stomach pain. However, it might mean that, at the same time, My body is losing the ability to heal the stomach with its own power. It is as if I am not getting stronger but weaker, in terms of my natural healing ability. Thus, there was no gain nor loss, akin to to the law on the conservation of energy.
