1. You’re dumber than previous generations were at their age.
So let's face it we were raised by TV. Previous generations didn't use the TV as a babysitter like it is used now. Single parents are a more common occurence than it use to be which results in having other people/objects to fill those roles. We have a lot more technological opportunities than previous generations and never experienced life without them. We do not need to use our minds or have intellectual talents when the world is at our finger tips in the form of the internet. Since the invention of GPS systems we don't even need the ability to read maps. Generations before us had to stay at school for an additional year to be able to attend University, which is certainly not the case for us. Our education system has been dumbed now and we are almost entirely reliant on instant access information systems. We rely on technology to tell us the answers instead of developing our own thought process. So, yes I completely agree and admit I am dumber than previous generations.
