just makes me think of how bad everyone's English would be online if there weren't automatic spell checks. lel
Technology is getting more intelligent.... People getting more ignorant.

*does not compute*
Not in my dictionary and it suggests:
blend
bellied
bland
blind
blond
It's British slang for dickhead.

what if people are naturally ignorant and find it easier to be ignorant regardless of the technology?

Hell if I know, I didn't read it either.

It is, do your research. Tests have shown that being in a state of boredom and laziness over a prolonged period of time does have a measurable and considerable impact on ones brain performance. Your lifestyle has a lot of impact on your brain in many different ways, unsurprisingly also on its raw performance - IQ.What? No, that's not how you lose IQ points.
Remember that you are always adapting to your environment, if your lifestyle does not require a lot of physical strength anymore you'll become weak. If your lifestyle does not require you to be smart anymore you'll lose a measurable amount of it.

That's the thing about studies... there's always another one saying something different.

There is no cut and dried "this environment makes you do this." it's up to you, as E-Ro said.
For me personally, when I was bored at school with nothing to do (I'd already done my work) but I had to stay there til the end of the school day--THAT was when I wrote the majority of my songs. Boredom (combined with being incapacitated somewhere) inspired me to use my mind.

IQ is a useless statistic.
It doesn't prove intelligence, it just proves that you are able to do whatever tasks the test thinks you should be good at to show "intelligence". If you give the IQ test to X person in Y third world country they will likely do worse than average. Does that mean that they are not intelligent, or does that mean that in their daily lives they have no need for the "skills" the IQ test tests for?

To counter this, boredom without distractions is probably the key here. When you can flip up your phone and check a million and one things to keep you from thinking... that's probably not the greatest for your brain.
Then again... when you pull up your phone in order to engage in thoughtful, insightful and Bunzful conversation here on the BSN, you probably are giving your brain a workout.

If by workout you mean dousing it in acid, then sure!

True story. We're living in an age in which technology defines and in many ways controls many peoples lives- (facebook, computers, smart phones and so forth)
However..... Human's are becoming, well, dumber. Human beings are becoming denser and losing intelligence.

I find this both hilarious and scary at the same time. My IQ is high, (122) so I have no worries about my raw intellect.
However.... It would seem that the human race is getting more glib and ignorant.
Thoughts?
*I for one, fully expect a skynet type of system to take over in the next 100 or so years. I think human beings will be so fat, dumb and brainwashed by all the derptard media they consume, that it will just happen fairly easily*
There is already a skynet it's called the 1%.

Please elaborate. I feel much stronger, smarter and wiser day after day (with all my studies and exercises) but my memory is still awfully weak.
