QUOTE(arnz @ Sep 15 2008, 09:56 AM) It seems the younger generation seem to be more tech savvy.

I think we are clever because if our mothers and fathers and those beofer them were....then the sort of cleverness is gathered up...and then taught to the next generation and the next and then the next and so forth...so the last generation will always be the most knowledgable I guess,,,,
Oh...some people are just born talented.. *ahem* people like me of course..lmao only kidding... [not]
I think it's just the enviroment they are in it's like they would know how to fix a pc but most of them wouldn't know how to fix a car and I don't mean a car with all the new computers in it, I mean like an old Torana or something
Confidence is another thing. Youth today seems to have so much faith in what they know.. and what "we" know... its easier to manipulate something you're certain of. In the end though, we don't know as much as we'd like to think.. but inside the illusion that kind of surity is just what it takes to get ahead.
QUOTE (clergyq @ Dec 5 2004, 11:58 PM) Nah. It's not really "more intelligence".. its just an affinity to a rapidly developing technological world. If you grow up already used to the change in general, and with exposure to the types of new things that are becoming the center of modern human life, its easier to deal with than if you'd known something else all of your life. Many concepts and ideas that were once indespensible are no longer even valuable or useful in the least.. people who grew up with them have a hard time letting those things go in order to adapt.. but such is life, i suppose. If the tables were turned and modern convenience were stripped away.. you'd find those most dependant on it flapping like a fish out of water and whole different class of people surviving. It all depends on what game is being played in a particular era, who knows the rules, and who even bothers to play it. Confidence is another thing.

Well put clergyq, I dont think i could have put that any better if i tried. I even nnotice this in myself sometimes, im quick to judge something as "no good" or "crappy" or just aplain stupid idead because what i have grown up with wasnt that. I find this alot with my little brother when he talks about stuff and when i think about it im quite harsh at times and too quick to pass judgement, but i doubt are generation is any "smarter" than the last, without them there wouldnt be any "us" so.. We only think we are smarter cause they cant grasp all this "new fangled" technology. 
most kids are morons. especially those from about 16-20 or 21... they think they know it all and are very stubborn. they cannot listen or even comprehend other viewpoints because they always think they are right. i see it all the time.
also, they don't know the simplest things that are supposed to be common sense. some examples that come to mind... what is feces? what are power windows? this is coming from a 17 year old... my god..
I do not think that overall the younger generation is "smarter" or more "intelligent". We just happen to be more open to information because of the huge leaps and bounds that it has taken over the course of us being alive.
Had our parents the opportunities some of you have and that I had, yeah I'm a 19 year oldie , then they probably as well would have been "smarter."
I think that, as others do, its not that younger people are more intelligent its just that they adapt to new technoligies better than the polder generation, because they are used top these. I also believe that both generationas are intelligent, as the older generation has had more life experience, there just not good with new technoligy.
P.S my comp just randomly opened the calculator, which was wiered.
I agree with clergyq. It's like.. Our parents and stuff have witnessed changes through their lives, and I suppose the younger generation grow up expecting such changes, as if they're a part of ordinary life. It's easier to adapt if you know what's coming.
Im almost 17 (February 12th) and I know how to fix a car, computer, design websites, program stuff, play sports, know NOT to smoke, I drink alcohol, have friends go to school ful-time, do chores, play games and still have time to be a kid.
I multi-task all the time, as you can see. So therefor I think the younger generation may be smarter, but only because we learned from our parents. Our parents knowledge + our learning environment = Smart (usually) kids. That's just what i think

Computers are a blatantly obvious example, with most students tend to know more about computers than "most" teachers, especially the older teachers.

But the thing is, younger people grew up with this stuff, so it's a lot easier to pick up, so the younger generation is not really smarter, just accustomed to new things. QUOTE Anyways, yes I think the younger generation is smarter. They learn from the mistakes the last generation made, like polluting, wars, violence, smoking, alcohol, disobeying laws, murder, suicide, racism, etc. Also, because we grow up seeing the bad things and learning to make it better. That's what the younger generation is taught to do. That seems unlikely, because by your logic, problems would be eliminated quickly if each generation learned from the mistakes of the previous generation. War still occurs, violence is still everywhere, and genocides are still happening.

The Younger Generation Is More Intelligent ! To the OP Intelligence can mean a couple of things. Am 16 an I thought I was smart knowing, html, css, perl and currently learning java script but you would be suprised on how many people know these languages it kinda make me feel dumb :( -reply by mike
I think the younger generation is smarter because I am in it ;D

I've heard too many kids say we had to attack Iraq for what "they" did to "us" on 9/11. Even now, many young people support John McCain to stop those Iranians from destroying the US and Israel with their secret nuclear weapons. Young people are ignorant and a disgrace to the history of our country. Previous generations would be marching on Washington, protesting US imperialism, yet today's generation can't pull themselves away from their XBox 360s long enough to notice what's happening in the world. Texting, Myspace, and Wii are the best thing that's ever happened for those who wish to destroy freedom in this country. The only way to get young people riled is to unplug their game consoles, which won't happen since video games are a great babysitter. No, young people are not more intelligent. They're more spoiled, and their parents and govts. are responsible for it. Keep in mind that their are many exceptional young people out there. I'm only talking about some kids and parents, and how technology is making them dysfunctional. ROFL! Haha, I completely agree with you.... especially about the myspace part  Anyways, you are quite correct. I have definitely noticed that many people my age are very, very, unintelligent. Honestly, it is getting ridiculous.... One thing I have also noticed, is complete disregard for authority. Now, I'll admit, I have a disregard for authority, but only when they abuse their power, or are just plain wrong. But the specific example I am thinking of is cell phones during class times. My school has a policy that does not allow cell phones to be used during class, and many teachers do not allow you to use MP3 player, etc. during class times. Its really quite appalling to see all the people that have a complete disregard for this rule and think that it is unfair when they get rebuked for it! What the nuts people! Anyways, time to bring this to a close. I do not think that young people are more intelligent that adults. If anything, the majority of them are getting worse everyday. We may know about computers, etc. than our parents, but trust me, the majority of young people could be considered legally retarded.
