I've seen it firsthand with my own kids - they can't even do basic math without using a calculator app on their phones. We're becoming too dependent on tech for simple tasks, and it's definitely not making us smarter. Common sense and critical thinking seem to be taking a backseat to quick Google searches, and that's a problem.

Smartphones are not making us dumber, come on! I mean, sure, my memory might be a bit flaky sometimes because I rely on Google for everything, but that doesn't mean I'm less smart. They're like mini supercomputers in our hands - how can that not make us smarter? Plus, the access to information and ability to communicate better with people around the world is invaluable.
