[quote=YEMMIE ,26744]Hi Dreamcatcher, Hi Everyone,I don't believe today's kids are smarter than we were/are. I believe they are exposed to more modern technology earlier so they learn how to use it better and sooner. But if you ask them to explain the scientific principles behind this wonderful technology, many, if not most cannot. At least, that is how it is in my country. Maybe it is not so in China. But, in America, if you ask young people questions about the history of their own country, let alone the world, they are quite ignorant. They also lack the ability to memorize important information, making it necessary for them to look up almost everything. No, they are not smarter, just more facile with gadgets. I wish we had a broader base of knowledge. I sometimes worry that if something truly catastrophic happened, we would have to start all over because there would not be enough people around with a broad enough base of knowledge to pick up the pieces and continue. And, I include myself in this. I don't know much about this wonderful technological world that I have come to rely on.[/quote]
