Dumb and Dumber

"The Dumbest Generation" is about how technology makes the new generation 'dumb and dumber'. Why? Don't you need to "learn" to use new techno gadgets? We get more information quicker from the internet and shouldn't therefore make us smarter? So how do they make us dumber? -- Self-control! When things are so easily gained, we don't treasure them. In fact, we need to make extra effect to treasure things. Accessing information and contacting friends become so cheap, so readily available and sometimes so overwhelmed, we don't THINK anymore. When we get to a point where we need to think, we panic, get frustrated and then depressed. What do we have to lose not checking the Facebook for 2 days or going out without cellular for a day? Contrarily, I will gain by reading a book! I will get great satisfaction making a new handbag or dress or my dog's bedding. I will be more happy playing with my dog or try cooking a new dish. In brief, I will get something done in REAL! We get dumb if we let lifeless objects control us.
