Smarter but that's offset BIG TIME by more gullible and less informed.

that...doesn't make any sense at all.

how are they smarter?

people certainly have more/easy access to information than ever before but so very few of them are using it productively

People think that knowing things makes you smart. It's not what you know, it's how you use what you know. Compare the pyramid builders to a millennial with an iPad and the attention span of a goldfish.

No contest.

What amazes me that Plato Socrates etc managed to write books with thousands of pages. And people today can't read a book over 100 pages.

Smarter as in every year the 50% line on IQ tests gets moved up a bit. As in raw intelligence or whatever IQ tests measure.

Mostly they use it for cute cat videos and to confirm their conformation bias.

They are not using it to educate themselves in anything productive. Fone, with his massive Simpsons and other pop culture vid knowledge, is actually better than most.

P. S. I blame this on the media in general not just the internet. IMHO it started about when TV news went from the documentary model to the drama model but there was a paradigm shift in all news media at the time.

Exclusive: Manafort flight records show deeper Kremlin ties than previously known

In his defense most of those trips were him looking for his Russian bride.

I blame the easy willingness doctors prescribe anti depressants to kids that spend too much time on Facebook and Youtube. They should go outside an exercise they would probably feel better.
