Does digital technology make people stupid?

It has the potential, certainly... How many can read a street directory?

Ideally, it should make people smarter, but I'm not seeing a lot of evidence of that.

No, it just makes saying stupid shit easier.

Absolutely. It also increases ego.
Every son of a bitch that can operate a cell phone or computer will use that as an example of how smart they are, but those same sob's will sneer at people from the past as being ignorant - but they don't realize those people from the past actually INVENTED those cell phones and computers.

You can say that. We use gps instead map to navigate us to some place. Not to mention the autodrive car. For real? But, the tools if use wisely I don't think it makes people stupid. But dependent on it? Yes. It makes us stupid.

With all information easily accessed, than an encyclopaedia, I think people cheat easier and pretend to be smarter

It's a tool..if you think a Wikipedia article contains everything to be known about,say Winston Churchill don't blame tech

No, stupid people are stupid with or without technology. Technology creates jobs that smart people take.

I think it can depending on what you do with it and how much time you spend on your devices.

I think it makes us smarter if anything
