Is the advance in technology making humans dumber, lazier or both?

[Enfuego]

Everything is about instant gratification it seems.

This machine like "echo" that does everything for you? Think it makes people really, really lazy.

 

[KingEleven]

Lazy for sure

 

[seldomseen]

Dumber absolutely not.

Lazy yes.

 

[slapshot]

Both

texting is the new crack for these kids.

My call center reps have skills, yet lack in soft skills because of the less verbal interactions.

 

[DesertNole]

Socially inept for sure.

They might be the most educated but not the smartest. Just my opinion.

 

[Willie99]

Lazy, yes
Smarter? Debatable, we have a lot of knowledge available but we may use access as a crutch

Common sense MIA, the current generation is not very bright

I don't know about lazy or dumb. But entitled and impatient, for sure.

When I was in high school and college, you had to go to the library, find the right books and research the shit out of a topic to finish a reports on it, for example. The internet was just becoming commonplace when I was in college, but it didn't contain anywhere near the info you can find today. Anyone remember the primitive form of Google called Infoseek?

Today, any kind of information you need is a few clicks away. When you get used to everything being done for you, it doesn't translate into a great work ethic. Just ask employers...
