J jaws7777 frank I hate to disagree with you but here it goes! I personally think even if CarpCharacin CarpCharacin tries he’ll still be an annoying troll/Astro physicist (could be something else sorry my IQ is too low to remember) even if he tried. No matter what his mommy tells him he’ll always be an annoying theoretical troll physicist!

Haha where u been bro. I saw the alert and knew i was gonna enjoy the comment.
 
Back to the technology stuff that was talked about such as smartphones... A big part of the problem with technology as I see it, is people abuse it and can't handle the freedom of it and it has a reverse effect than is actually intended. Texting was intended to connect people, yet because it is abused, it is actually separating people. I'll give you a prime case in point. My family came over just this past Saturday and I was downstairs working on rod orders. So I went up to say hi to my Niece & Nephew while they were here. I go upstairs and sit down and they are both starring down blankly at their phones texting away. I sat there for 5 mins and neither one of them every looked up other than saying a quick "hey" then it was back to texting. So after 5 mins of that I figured, alright screw it I'll go back down to the shop and work again, why sit here and be ignored.

And that happens with families all over the place day in and day out. This generation does not realize that they are missing out on spending time with their real families just so they can spend time in this make believe world talking to people in cyber space.

On one hand it drives me crazy and I hate that they are like that, and it makes me upset with them because it is rude and disrespectful, and it makes me mad with my Sister because as their Mom she should have taught them better than to do that. Then on the other hand, I truly feel sorry for them, because family will not be around for ever. The day will come when they can't come over to visit me because I won't be here any longer. And by the time they realize they wasted the time they could have enjoyed with family, it will be too late to do anything about it.

While IQs are dropping overall for the human race, you do have the top 1% that are developing things such as iPhones and curing diseases through stem cell tem researches. So, I don't believe it's accurate to imply that we are at our "stupidest" right now. Perhaps it was, about 10 years ago when Jersey Shore was at the peak of it's popularity :D

Technological Advances aren't the same as human intelligence, and I.Q scores are a measurement of academic achievement, not intelligence.

Personally I would put the developers of iphones in the stupidest, of the stupidest, of the stupidest :) because I personally feel "smart phones" and social media are a HUGE part of where the blame lays for the way society is these days.

Needless to say I am one of the last hold outs on getting a smart / cell phone. Never had one and never will :)

The problem is that despite near instant access to information, people aren't learning much anymore.
