Since human's society have came into the industrial society, people have gradually used to enjoy the convenience from development of technology. in the preindustrial society, people can hardly imagine that human can across the Pacific Ocean within a day, or the some diseases, such as phthsis, are not lethal disease any more. Not only have physical life of human changed a lot, but also the human's life have changed so. The development of technology has changed the way to think and the ability of human to think for themselves. Some held the view that as people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of human to think for themselves will surely deteriorate, others have dissentient voices of such view about the human declining ability of thinking for themselves.
It is hard to deny that development of technology make our world more convenient than it used to be, this convenience manuit people from demanding labor so that people have devoted more time on resolving harder problems and less time on those meaningless endeavors. The development of washing-machine and refrigerator help women having devoted less time on household and have spent more time on their professional field or their work, so that they will have better academic performance or working performance. In their working time or the field of study, they can hone their ability to think for themselves. For those women, the development of technology maunit them from heavy household and help them improving the ability to think for themselves. In scientific perspecutive, reseachers would benefit from the technology which can solve numerours problems during research. The chemists, for example, used to be forced spending a lot of time on calculating before computor is accessible for them, nowadays, those chemist can devote more time on conquering conundrum rather than calculating data because of computors which can do so. During process that those chemists studied those conundrums, the ability of human to think for themselves will surely be honed.
However,technology does have some negative impact on the ability of human to think for themselves. For example, if people rely more and more on calculatos to calculate, the ability of human to calculate will surely degrade.  Some abilities that everyone has it since they borned will gradually decrease if they rely more and more on some products of technology. The memory palace, for example, is considered that everyone can constitude in their head and help them to remeber tremendous things in the world. However, people is used to using their smartphone or other high-tech equipments to remeber things or event that they can remeber it by themselves, the memory palace will keep awary from those people. Without practicing of memory, people's ability to remeber has gradually be deteriorated. 
Moreover, the deveolpment of Internet seem to deteriorate the ability of human to think for themselves. In the time with exploring information, men and women have to attach tremendous information everyday, and their ability of thinking those information by themselve be abandoned in favor of barely acceptance of those information. Human's ability of focusing on someting and the ability of thinking by themselves will surely detriorate. 
Reconciling the dissention of the technology's influence of human's ability to think for themselves, human will be the crucial factor that can determine whether the impact of the technology for human's thinking ability is postive or not, namely, the willpower of human is another significant impulse. If human can defend those high-tech temptation, such as playing computor game or browsing facebook and turn to use high-tech products correctly, such as MOOC, massive open oline course or quora, an app that can ask questions without limits of field of study, people can promote the ability to think for themselves.
