What is critical thinking? What does it take to be a critical thinker? How might technology add to or detract from the critical thinking we do on a daily basis?
Critical thinking is basically problem solving thru reasoning. It takes intelligence, the ability to find many different solutions to a problem and knowing how to apply the right course of action to solve the problem at hand. Technology both adds and detracts from the critical thinking process because if you are stuck with a problem, you could use resources on the web to help aid your reasoning and assist your point of view. It may also hinder your ability due to the sources you use are not up to date or they are just not working properly.
Critical thinking, in my words, is the ability to analyze situations and evaluate them using your personal experiences and ideas. I think in order to be a critical thinker you have to be able to connect things to each other. How something might be relevant to something else.
Critical thinking is thinking outside of the box. Using your mind and ideas to analyze a definite point. A critical thinker is quick witted and able to explain things easily. Technology could detract from critical thinking because it doesnt allow for us to think for ourselves at times.
Critical thinking is being able to solve problems using your brain. It's being able to analyze what you need to do or want to do in order to solve the problem. A thought process is put in place and you just start to write down your ideas. Technology could deter you from critical thinking because critical thinking is all in your head. When things come to your head, sometimes it's just easier to write it down automatically. It wouldn't be the same as having to start up your computer, starting a word processor, and jotting it down unless of course you already have your word processor opened up and it's right there for immediate use.
Critical thinking is a way peple analyze information they recieve. Wether they here it in person or see it online they analyze the information depending on the circumstances they see the information. It is hard to show how one feels online as accuratey as in they could in real life so its a little easier to miscue information and take it the wrong way.
seems to me that critical thinking is the process of evaluating every conceivable outcome of a given situation, and where each step in the process will vary and branch off leading to other steps not readily apparent. Technology will take away from that process, has taken away from it, because any time you make things easier to do, the brain immediately starts to relax and work less.
Critical thinking can simple be defined as thinking about something critically. But that is not really a good definition, its just changing the order of words. Critical thinking is to ponder something. Consider all the ramifications of it then decide what the is best conclusion. critical thinking also is willing to say, "I am not done pondering this, I do not have all the evidence, I will make my decision later"
Critical thinking to me is serious thinking like thinking outside the box that we normally think in to look deeper into things or to see something from another view. It is not easy being a critical thinker you have to really use your brain to solve the problem because the answers are not exactly in your face. For example detectives have to be critical thinkers to solve crimes because they have to think like criminals to see what, when, and where there next step move or what they done next. I think that technology can somewhat detract from critical thinking because it makes everything easy it don't really involve that much thinking just common sense. Example the internet even though i love it.
ritical thinking is when you think something through logically, from your own thoughts or weighing something out using knowledge mostly more than faith to make an informed decision. Critical thinking will help you solve problems win arguments and be less of a robot who just conforms to what they are told to believe by others. Technology adds to critical thinking by allowing a person a wide variety of information at their fingertips to quickly gain knowledge about something they might be critically thinking about. It might detract from critical thinking by putting false arguments into your thinking or depending on what you are doing on the computer it might aid you in avoiding critical thinking all toghether.

Critical thinking is having the ability to analyze a problem or situation and coming up with multiple solutions to resolve it. It also involves knowing the outcomes of each method used, whether it be the most effective, efficient, or hasty choice. Technology can be used effectively to aid critical thinking, but it shouldn't be relied on for your every answer. A GPS navigator for example may give you the shortest route to a given destination, but if you know from experience that there is road work going on and when rush hour is busiest; you are not subject to follow the same route, but perhaps take some back roads to avoid traffic.
Critical thinking is being able to see situations from every angle. Its called thinking outside the box. Not thinking in the way that you where taught from a child. You look at every way possible.
critical thinking is the ability to find answers to questions thru logic and reasoning. a critical thinker is an individual who has good intellectual reasoning and judgment. technology may detract from critical thinking because resources can block or harm a thinker's thought process and therefore his/her judgment ends up becoming convoluted. however, technology can be a good resource to back up judgment and credibility.
