I believe both are true, technology has made us smarter and dumber. They say since the internet age that the average IQ has gone up ten points. This can probably be argued by many people. How many of us just don't have the time to pick up a book any longer, because were to busy playing on the computer. Technology has made it very easy for us to shop, get in the car and go to the store no way man, I can order it on line. Buy a new CD why, I can down load it of the Web, it goes on and on. I don't even have to have a friend anymore, I can get on line and play a game with someone I have never met. - Smarter or Dumber?

Technology is here to stay, it will not go away and is this bad? Sometimes I believe it is bad for our children, being a kid has changed drastically since I was a kid. We had three channels to watch, once the morning cartoones were through there was nothing else, it was time to go outside and play. Kids today they do not want to go out and play, as we did at their age. Video games has taken the place of playing catch, or riding our bikes. Is this bad- yes and no their not getting the physical exercise, but they are getting a mental workout. - Smarter or Dumber ?

Technology has made just about everything in our lives easier to complete or manage. In todays society we can drive down the road pick up our cell phone and call the house and tell the the oven to turn on. Is this lazyness, forgetfulness, or our we just lucky to be living in a time that POP Culture is at its best. I'm sitting in front of this computer writing this blog, hey I don't have to be a good speller anymore just get it close, I have SPELL CHECKER.- Smarter or Dumber?

I honestly don't have the answer for the question doe's technology make us smarter or dumber. I do know that it's a lot more entertaining, and it has made life easier, technology is going to just keep on getting more technical. So do we have to get smarter to be able to use it or keep up with it, not really the computer will teach us everything we need to know.
