Their brainsshaped by the era of microprocessors, access to limitless information, and 24-hour news and communicationare remapping, retooling, and evolving. They're not superhuman.

To compete and thrive in the age of brain evolution, and to avoid these potential drawbacks, we must adapt, and iBrainwith its Technology Toolkitequips all of us with the tools and strategies needed to close the brain gap.
