My thoughts about technology is that it helps us access information quicker. I think that it is helpful because with technology, we are able to do things that we couldn't before, such as exploring outer space or research diseases such as COVID 19. Additionally, I agree that technology is only harmful when we become too attached to it, and that we shouldn't rely on it to live.

# data[].attributes.body
It depends on how you look it at it. But I agree with both the ideas. I think this because when someone is using technology so much it could hurt there eyes or even make them attached to the screen making them go dumb. But it can be innovative because we can use technology to learn new things and grow our mind. So it all depends on how we look at it. There is always a downfall to any object because as far as I know, no object is perfect. And neither are technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is making people smarter because people nowadays have access to more educational resources than ever. These can include ebooks, educational websites, and more. While people believe that we are too reliant on technology, I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing because like all major inventions, we use it because it is very useful.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that technology is actually making us dumber. For example, since there were no phones a long time ago, we had to interact more, and could build up more of a community, but now, we rely on our phones to build relationships, and the interactions will be entirely different since it is online. It also makes us use less of our real knowledge by just searching something up. For example, when we need to look up a word, we just need to type what we think it is spelled, and it will autocorrect to the right spelling, but looking at a dictionary or thesaurus is more difficult, and can help with knowing other words similar to the one that you need.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology can be beneficial and harmful in many ways while it is making people smarter it is also making people rely on it for simple things. For example, people can research new topics and learn tons of new things using technology but over time people rely on it more and more. To be more specific, back then people would have little kitchen timers, alarm clocks and such but now people just use their phones or devices for these things. So really it depending on how you see it technology is helping us but also making us more dependent.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with both. I agree that technology allows us to access helpful knowledge. When you find a fact on the internet, you remember that and you're gaining more information. However, sometimes the information that is given is false. Its easy to get facts and opinions messed up. It's also really easy to rely on the internet for everything. What would we do in a situation where we don't know the answer to a question, but there's no internet? Personally, I've learnt many things on the internet, so I don't think technology can make you "dumber," but it sometimes may hinder you from finding out about things on your own. Our generation rarely uses books for research and it will make an impact.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is making some people smarter and some people dumber. It depends on how the person is using technology. If the person is doing research, and using technology to learn new things, they are getting smarted because of technology. However if they just search up their problems and take the first answer they get without looking to make sure it is right, and without learning to see why that is the answer, they are getting dumber because of technology.

# data[].attributes.body
What I think about technology is that it is actually really helpful, but also it can make us dumber. For example, back in the days when we didn't have technology, there was no quick way we could send messages around and learn about information. Also, if we had COVID-19 without any technology, most of the world wouldn't know it existed, and the pandemic would spread much quicker with people uneducated about it. Also, you could search many things up that you didn't know, such as facts and also websites that hold articles in them. With the internet/technology, the world is much more educated. The reason why technology can make us dumber is because our brains rely on the internet more than our brains to solve a problem. Also, the internet has many tabs and ads that are very flashy, and can get you to be distracted.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts on technology is that while technology has a lot of negatives, it helps us more than it hurts us. Without technology, we wouldn't have been able to make so many amazing inventions. We need it in order to move forward in the world. However recently it has been shown that technology has the same amount of negatives as positives, and these negatives are sometimes serious, like your ability to take in information. This shows that while technology has positives, it has a lot of serious negatives.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology can benefit some people. I don't think it can make someone dumber but it can hold the back from learning somethin g. On the other hand people use technology for educational purposes so they may get smarter because they are learning. Overall it really depends on how your are using technology in your day to day life, if you use it correctly you can become smarter but I don't think you can become dumber, you will just be unproductive.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology can make people both smarter AND dumber, but it depends on the program being used. But mostly, technology has been helping educate people for some time now, and letting others understand how some subjects work, like using CAD software to help understand engineering.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like technology can help people get smarter but it can also have a negative impact on people. It helps people get smarter because it allows us to learn new things and helps us research about things that we are interested in. If we want to learn about something, we can just search it up on google and then we can learn about it. It can have a negative impact on people because they can learn false information and students/people can get very distracted from technology. When students or kids get distracted, that can lead to failing school which is not good. Also, kids are able to search up homework answers on google which can have a negative impact on students because if they search answers up, the students won't learn anything and they will rely on the internet even more. They will struggle on tests and quizzes because they aren't able to search up the answers and that can lead to failing school.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Technology can have a good or bad impact of different people. It depends on what you are using the technology for and why. Technology can help you learn information, communicate to others, but could also give you false information which could give you wrong ideas about certain things. But if you use technology in the correct way and for the correct things then it could impact you in a good way.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is helpful. It allows us to do things we wasn't able to do, and help us to learn new things through the technology. However, technology can make us dumber(lazier) but also it can make us smarter, depending on the way we use it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is making people both smarter and dumber. For example technology helps us in so many ways, it allows us to learn things and be more creative. but it also hurts us when we become too dependent and focused on it we forget simple things that we should just know.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology helps us to access helpful knowledge. I think this because the internet has information about pretty much everything. When you have questions, you can just look them up and you will have multiple articles, websites, and other resources at your disposal. There are fake websites, but you learn how to weed out the real from the fake. There are some negative effects, such as people relying too much on the internet, but that is their own bad decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
I  think that this argument could really go both ways. But I think that the stronger arguments is that technology makes peoples smarter. Without technology we wouldn't be able to access new information. Another thing to note is that technology helps the spread of new information. You could be across the world from someone but still know the same information. Though there are lots of downsides, you must make the right choice to use the internet correctly.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is a good way to access things an communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology can be helpful or harmful depending on how you use it. For example, with technology it is easier for us to find an answer to something. If people always search up the answer to a question and don't even think about it then we will always forget stuff which is harmful. So depending on how you use it, technology can be helpful or harmful.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology can either be helpful or do the opposite.For example technology can be a good recourse for education and learning.It is also a great way of communicating.The thing about technology is that you can get sucked in to the habit of sitting there and looking at a screen.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology gives us opportunities that we would have never had before and allows us to learn things that we couldn't have learned before.I also think that technology can help us to answer questions that were confused about or we want to learn more about. So because Technology gives you so many opportunities to learn  something new and can answer questions you were confused about, I think that is why technology makes people smarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it really depends meaning it could make people dumber or smarter. What I’m trying to say is it how u us the technology but I’m leaning more toward dumber only Cause technology does have lots of benefits but I mean we don’t need them half of the things on technology is either your social media’s or acual important stuff like work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is making people smarter. For example with google, yahoo, etc.. you can look up anything, and it'll give you an answer. I think this would make us smarter because we have answers to any question that we may have. Although you could argue that this would make people dumb because they have all the answers so there no need to solve it out in your head, I believe that it still would make us smarter because that information is now locked in our brains. Also technology allows things information to spread faster, so the moment someone makes an important discovery everyone can read and learn about it.

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly believe that technology has made humans smarter. Technology has allowed the common man has information regarding any subject at his fingertips. Moreover, technology allows ideas and information to spread within a couple of minutes rather than a couple of days. With more ideas being spread faster and farther, more innovations can be brought to life. Technology allows humans to access any information they want at any time whether the human wants information about gaming or information about space.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology makes you smarter because it makes you more aware of how to use these new tools. And technology is going to become way more common in the future so it is good to know how to use it and can help you on later in life

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts on technology is that people are getting smarter. AI (artificial intelligence) is a recent discovery that has been able to do much more that humans. Robots can now beat the best chess players, best videogame players and much more. AI also gets smarter and improves based off negative responses. This can improve the human race to create more advanced technology and electronics by learning from the AI. People can also learn a lot from the internet, based on many websites and articles.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is a fairly new invention and people are still trying to figure it out. But still the internet is getting people dumber. To have the ability to just look up any question you have and get a result without any work seems nice and reliable, but that is not helping anyone. It helps in making students smarter though due to all the educational websites, but after school people only use the internet to look up questions and read lots of false information.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is making us smarter because we can learn new information easily by just a simple google search. This makes it so easy for you to do the things you enjoy and learn new skills and hobbies.

# data[].attributes.body
Tech is making us dumber because it is destroying our brains and putting us in a different world

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is making us smarter because it allows us to access information on almost any topic. Although it does have some drawbacks of not always being reliable, if used correctly a by someone who knows how to use it correctly it will only benefit someone and make them smarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe technology is making is both making us smarter and "dumber". Since technology is well advanced from way back when, people can get more educational and informative resources. I don't think it's making us dumber just more lazy. I love researching and learning new things and technology is all I need to find out what exactly I'm looking for.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is making us humans as whole both smarter and dumber. Technology is making us smarter because it provides easier access to information at any time  for normal citizens that would normally be hard to find without it. An example of this would be researching about a specific person, topic, or item. Not only does it provide facts about what is already true, it also allows for ideas to spread around through social media. As we've seen in the past, some of these ideas could lead to extraordinary creations. It lets us enter a world that has just the right amount of both creativity and set-in-stone facts. However, while all of this applies, it also makes us very reliant on technology, and can prevent us from being able to think deeply about a situation. Whenever we meet an obstacle, we'll turn to our technology, and if they're not in sight we'd end up being helpless. We need to keep a good balance of using it to obtain information, while being able to solve things ourselves as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is making people smarter because without it, information would be so much harder to access. For example, without social media and news reports people wouldn't have know the severity of COVID-19 early on. Before technology people had to go the library to research things, but what would happen if as they were researching another question came up. They would have to go back to the library to get answers to a simple question. Instead now we can use Google for research, entertainment and so much more.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the debate regarding how  technology can affect us, resulting in us becoming smarter or dumber, can be looked at in different ways. Someone who completely relies on the internet for very simple things, and avoids their surrounding materials solely because of that, is becoming relatively dumber than a person who uses the internet when they  want to learn, or if they have tried to do something but have failed so they turn to the internet for help. It depends on how a person utilizes the internet and it's resources, whether they use the internet to learn explore a hobby, or if they just use the internet to pass time or cheat themselves/others. In all, I think technology depends on how it's used.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is a double edged sword, simultaneously improving and harming our lives. Social media for example, is both harmful and helpful. We can instantly communicate with people all around the world, but it also has the potential to amplify harmful messages. Social media also has harmful mental effects, with our brains getting "addicted" to seeing the view-counts and likes increase. As technology progresses, it becomes much harder to determine if a source of news is real or not, with AI being able to generate convincing news articles, and image processing tools becoming more and more advanced. Technology is also helping people by giving them easy access to vast troves of information, and helping people learn. Overall, I think technology is ultimately better for people, as it provides many ways to learn, interact, and relax.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is making us smarter, because it allows us to innovate and have access to information easily, and in many cases help inspire a new generation. For example, technology makes us strive to push the boundaries of what possible, and has many tools to allow us to use that creative energy, like drawing/animation applications, coding programs, and so much more. That's the thing with technology, you have a gateway of opportunities and career paths online, available a few keyboard taps away. You also have a large collection of information from many different sources, that can help further your understanding. You can even have virtual connections with people online, without having to see them in person, which can help people who are nervous meeting others, or find it easier to type rather than talk. People are also coming up with new and creative lingo, and memes to help share our political thoughts and ideologies, our troubles, or just wanting to make someone smile that day, by using witty language and play on words. Technology is also making us painfully aware of the effects words can have, even if they are by a random anonymous person. Technology does however have some negative consequences too.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is both making people smarter and dumber.  It is making people dumber because they can just search up an answer for something and not even know how it works.  For example, in math, someone can just search up the answer to a problem, and although they have the correct answer, they might not understand how to get the answer.  However, technology can be a positive because if people searched up something, then they would learn new things which could lead to them researching more about the topic and discovering something new.  Another reason how technology can make people smarter is that people can find things on the internet that they never knew before meaning that they just found out something new that they couldn't have found out without technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the question on whether technology makes us smarter or dumber has a lot to do with perspective. For example of course as we develop more advanced technology and learn ho to use it we are innovating and becoming smarter as we deal with more advanced things. But at the same time technology is most times put in place to make things easier or more enjoyable which could result in newer generations not being able to do things or not being familiar with things because they did no grow up in an environment around them, therefore being deemed dumb by some people standards.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology can make people both smarter and dumber. It depends on what they are looking at. Technology is an easy way for kids to learn, especially in these times but things like photoshop and fake news can foll us very easily.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology can make people smarter and dumber. It can make people smarter by allowing them to learn new things, but it makes people sit in front of a screen for a long amount of time and that can be harmful.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe technology is making people smarter and dumber. The reason for this is that if you have any questions about something you can easily search it up. If you don't know how to do something, you can search for a tutorial to help you sometimes. If you do it constantly though, your depending more on the internet instead of using your brain to solve things you already learned solving, which is why you shouldn't depend so much on technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is making people both dumber and smarter. There's many ways to look at it, let's look at the dumb side. Anyone can post anything on the internet whether it be true or false, and people end up believing it. This causes a lot of confusion and misinformation. BUT, the internet is also a great place to find reliable information. You just have to look hard enough. A lot of our smartest people get stuff from the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology makes people smarter. It allows for people to learn about thing that we could NEVER know about without it for example without it we won't know anything we know now about space.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology is bennefitial and makes people smarter. The reason I beleive this is because informations spread wider and faster with Google yahoo and all these other web browsers. making people more enlightened to the things happening in the world. And in additoon people who didnt have access because of situations they can gstill get access to an education with the internet and the tecnolgy.

# data[].attributes.body
technology is making people smarter when not abused. For example, it is giving people a plethora of knowledge and opportunities. However, some people abuse it and do dumb things to people. Others don't understand that there are people on the other side of the screen, and say dumb things to them. Some also take things for granted.

# data[].attributes.body
Both. On one hand we have the internet to learn new things we would've never learned before. This means more people will have more diverse, or better skill sets. Which in turn is making the human race as a whole smarter. But also, we have people that use the internet to ruin other people's lives for no other reason than just for kicks or money. That practice is single-handedly why I hate most of the internet, and a lot of people too as well. So in conclusion, the internet is making some of the human race significantly smarter, and it's also making some of the human-race unbelievably greedy, selfish, and dumber.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is used in many different ways. In my opinion, it depends on the person. People use technology for taking notes or playing video games. If you are that type of person who learns stuff off the internet, then I believe that if doesn't make you dumb. If you are that type of person who mainly uses the internet for gaming or social media, then yes, I do believe the internet is making you dumb.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I think that technology is making humans smarter. I think this, because it is easier to access more information and it helps us innovate new ideas for more kinds of technology. It acts as a place where people can put ideas and make websites, code games, and make entertainment for others. In some cases though it can make people not just dumber, but insecure and sad, because some people go online to hurt others this can make others feel bad and sad about themselves. Overall I think that technology can make someone both smarter and dumber.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I think technology is making people both smarter and dumber. It's making people smarter because it has allowed for a lot innovation, for example we can search things up on google which is easier than asking someone. It's making people dumber because people are so obsessed with virtual things like virtual relationships, instead of actually finding a relationship in person.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I think technology can be used in different ways, it can help people, entertain, distract, etc. But most of the time, I think technology can be harmful because it distracts people as well as it takes away people from being its their families and friends. It makes you more reliable on technology and when you have to do a task or test you may not remember what you should put.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is making people smarter because, with technology comes a lot of knowledge that can help us understand things. With technology we can access things faster which means we can learn new things faster. I also want to add that without technology we wouldn't learn so many new things. Other than this, I do also think that technology makes us more dependent on certain things in life. Before we would not be using technology to access ideas but now we do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology can be very helpful. The internet is full of great information. They do say that being on a screen is not healthy. Technology is also causing us to rely less on ourselves. Or our brains, specifically. We would rather just "Google" the answer rather than actually try answering on our own. But, I would say yes. Technology provides us with facts and resources. It helps us learn many new things. Technology is making people smarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is making people smarter because now we have access to more knowledge, and things that used to be known as knowledge is now commonly known  now. But it can also cause us to have worse memories due to the internet being a 2nd brain.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion technology is making people smarter and advancing the world. Technology has also made life a lot easier from having shortcuts it everything in a way.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is making people smarter. This is because technology is like learning a new language. There are so many things you can do using technology. For example you are able to just search up a question no one you ask has been able to answer. Learning a new language might not help you become smarter but it you are learning a new thing which can count as making you smarter if used correctly. Therefore, technology is making people smarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology is making people smarter but also dumber at the same time. It makes you smarter because you have access to so much knowledge with technology but it makes you dumber because people can become obsessed with social media apps like: TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is a double-edged sword. While it is a giant repository of information, it also contains harmful and addictive content. People who use technology as a way to learn more will fare much better than those who use it just to shame other people. In my opinion, humans have gotten "smarter" over the last 50 years, ever since the introduction of modern technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology is making people smarter but some people rely on or have too many devices. Technology has a lot of information, basically, all you need and some facts you can store in your head.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I believe technology can overall help people become smarter and dumber. It makes you smarter because of how much information can be found on it, Getting access to new things and websites or videos that can teach you things for free. You can learn things on the internet for free that you will otherwise have to pay for if you wanted to learn it. However, it can make you dumber because people can also use websites to post false narratives that can harm people's lives. It can also cause people to get addicted to it and constantly use it. Technology, like most things have a good side and a bad side.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is making people smarter because it gives people access to many websites/sources they can use to learn new things. I don't think technology can make someone dumber. Yes, too much technology is unhealthy but that doesn't necessarily make someone dumber. Overall, I believe technology is making people smarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology is helpful. I think this because we are slowly progressing and making more technology to make things easier. We use a lot of technology in our everyday lives like spoons and forks as well as computers and phones. These different pieces of technology are made to make certain tasks go faster and more efficiently, which is why it would be helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that technology is making the gap between smarter and dumber people bigger. Technology has both negatives and positives. For example, technology has given people access to information more conveniently than it used to be. However, technology also creates laziness and unwillingness to learn, because some people think that they can rely on technology their whole lives. Some people also stay on their phones too long. In the end, the people that want to get smarter will get much smarter and the people that don't want to get smarter will get more or stay dumb.

# data[].attributes.body
It's really easy to search up things on your devices and get the answer just like that, however it really shows how much we rely on the internet to solve things for us. And although that is the case, we have found out so many things throughout learning how technology works.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology could be useful in totally in many and different ways in society. Usually its a bit more harmful than helping others. People use it to spend time on video games and it helps keep them distracted, but it doesn't help them get farther in education. People use it to make them relaxed and get better at something. It can be useful if you wanted to do research for people who study and try to educate themselves to get ahead in life. It depends if people use it the right way... or the wrong way. The more you are addicted to it, you will just get dumber. Instead, go outside and take breaks and read not on technology and spend less time on technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is making people smarter but also dumber, because with certain programs it helps spread more awareness on certain things like the news. But it makes us dumb if you rely on the news too much. You'll be easily manipulated and get random opinions that may seem like facts, or for every simple answer or thing you should know, you'll just depend on the internet to have it there for you. Technology has made a lot of people's lives better however and it's still advancing. So, I think technology mostly makes us smarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is both making people smarter and dumber. With technology, if you have a question about something, you can just easily search it up online with the internet. You can learn about all sorts of different topics without needed to take a trip to the library or buying a book. At the same time, because you can search something up so easily, you don't feel the need to have that information in your own brain.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is making people smarter now. I think this because students, teachers, doctors, researchers, and everyone else can find information way faster on the internet than going to library and reading a book on the topic. It makes people grow there knowledge way more productivily with just a few clicks.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion technology is making people smarter and advancing the world. The advancements have helped us make more changes that helps the development of the country

# data[].attributes.body
The two-sided debate about technology, and each opposing sides both have good reasons why technology can make you smarter or dumber. Technology can make you smarter, but only if you know how to control yourself while using it. Right now, a lot of people all over the world rely on their technology to go to school, to learn, and to make money. Technology can be like a double edged sword. If can be beneficial, but if you can spiral out of control if you use it too much.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is making us smarter. I think this because it helps us with different things like learning and researching. It also helps us find out things we're curious about or we want to know. Overall computers make us smarter because of how advanced and useful the are.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that can make people smarter. Technology can make people smarter because it's a great way to get information and since there is so much misinformation, it can help you learn to identify who is trustworthy, and who is not. this can help a lot in the real world. Some people might say t

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology is perfectly fine. Although one could say we are developing a reliance on it, that is because technology allows us to do more than we can without it. It has allowed us to as a whole get a little smarter and is in general better to the general public than any specific person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is making some people smarter and some people dumber. This is because you can use technology to your benefit, like how we are using it for online school or you can use it for games/social media. Either way there are good and bad things that have come out of technology

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is making people dumber in some ways and smarter in other ways. One way it might make us dumber is by getting addicted to games and/or social media. One way it might make us smarter is by using the internet, we could research about anything we wanted to look into more and by having tech, we could do this faster and more efficiently. As well as this, it might make some people reliant on technology instead of using their brain, which could make people dumber as a whole.

well, Iphones ipads computers, they arnt bad for us right? well is it. it is bad for us because it is taking over us. we arnt going out side as much and we are all addited to it

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology makes people both dumber and smarter. It can make people dumber because people spread fake news or say things that aren't true but some people believe. But on the other side technology can make people smarter because you can learn many things from the internet such as how to bake a dish or how to solve a math equation. So to conclude, I think that technology can benefit and harm people.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology CAN make people smarter, but it depends on how it's used. For example, when scientists use simulations to see systems that they aren't able to actually create or view on Earth, they are using technology to learn. But when people use social media, most of the time, they aren't really learning anything new or valuable.
If people wanted to have the benefit of becoming smarter from using technology, then we should learn to use technology differently.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is making people smarter because we can learn things online. For example is you need a recipe or how to change a trie, they are all online. When you look it up you gains new knowledge. This shows that the internet is very useful. It can assist us when we need more knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology can make people smarter because the internet allows people to search up a learn new things, but at the same time there can be false information.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology is making us smarter because we use it in our everyday daily lives and we learn new facts from it.

Technology is helpful in many ways. Without technology, we would not be able to communicate quickly. Before technology, letters would have to be sent on horseback and it took days or even weeks to send information. With technology, we can send a message or an email in seconds. In addition, Technology helps us learn faster. Before technology, we would have to talk to an expert or search in books at the library in order to find information. Now, with technology, all it takes is a quick google search!

In my opinion I think that technology makes the majority of people dumber, as they can access an infinite amount of information, without actually having to learn it. they don't need to learn history or math, they can just Google and event or use a calculator. However, some people take the time to learn how technology works, and try to recreate or  learn about technology which makes them smarter. But not everyone tries to get a deep understanding of technology. Information just doesn't have the same value as it did before, thus people don't try and dedicate it to memory.

I think technology can make people both smarter and dumber. There is a lot of information on the internet that but that information can be true or false. Technology has helped us a lot, like during these times we are still able to go to school online.

I think that technology is both making people smarter and dumber. First of all it is making people smarter because it helps us in many ways. For example, finding information and communication. With technology we can record out ideas down and save it with just a click. Now, with technology we can communicate from long distances with just a tap on a screen. Technology is also making us dumber because there are some people that just believe things with evidence. An example of this is probably flat earthers.

I stand by the fact that technology can make us smarter in countless wyas. this is because without the tech we have today, there would still be so much unknown about the world around us and can show us how we got to where we are from history.

I think that technology has the ability to make people smarter, but is often times misused by people so it instead makes them "dumber" in a way. Using the internet you can learn countless things, but it also makes things very easy to find out, which I think can make people more forgetful or gullible when it comes to things like news articles. This is not to say that this is the same for every person, I just think that the answer of "Is technology making people smart or dumber" probably changes depending on who you are referring to and how they use technology and the internet.

I agree with both claims in that technology can make people smarter or it can be bad. It provides easy access to a lot of information and you can learn about anything just by using the search bar. However, it can be bad for you if it becomes a distraction to you from the outside world. But altogether I think there are more pros than cons about technology.

I believe that technology makes people smarter, although I think it is possible to look at this both ways.
We have started we almost nothing here on Earth, and using technology and much more we have come this far. Scienitists have done and found things that are alomost impossible to do without technology. Let's take a very common example, communication. With technology we can send almost an essay of things we want to say in just the nick of time with just a tap on a button. We can speak to people who are across the world and this would certainly not be possible without technology.

I think that technology has more pros than cons. It allows us to invent many things that we could not make without technology. Technology has even helped solve many real world problems.

I think technology can be both bad and good for us. Too much can be bad for our eyesight, but just enough can help. With technology we can communicate and learn about things we might not otherwise know about. Technology makes it a lot easier to find cures and search for answers that may be in old books. People have been so reliant of technology over the past few years because they have the ability to find answers faster.

Technology is something we all benefit from, if its as small as talking to friends or big things such as processing things that would take weeks for humans in a matter of seconds. I believe it isn't technology that makes people smart or dumb, but the person. If the person doesn't know how to use technology, or uses it for reasons that don't feed the person knowledge, then the person is just wasting their time. If the person knows what they wanna research or has lots of experience with technology, then technology can be very helpful to them, having the abilities to access different websites instead of going to the library instead to find the information.

I think that technology is helpfull in many different ways. Because of this I think that technology is making people smarter. Without technology and things like google or siri many people would not know many of the things they do now. Things such as how to cook an omlet or how to solve a certain math equation can almost always be found from a search engine. This helps us figure out how to solve a problem we have and problems we might have in the future. Therefore, I think technology makes us smarter.

I think that technology is making people smarter, but also dumber. It is making us smarter because it allows us to search things up instead of having to go to a library an looking for a book. This allows us to get information instantly, and when we need it. Also, we can get information on current events and talk to each other (via texting/calling) instead of going to their house. It's also making us dumber because we can get information too easily and we are less likely to learn from it because we are not doing the work to get that information.

Technology could make you dumb, but depending on how you use it, it could make you smart. Technology enabled the World Wide Web which led to google, which led to more courses for our future. It also led to many different ways to learn each subject. It could also make you bad if you use it for only your entertainment, so if you use it wisely, it could make you smarter compared to making you dumber.

I think technology is making people a lot smarter than before. The internet makes any answers to questions more accessible and also opens up a lot of curiosity to be explored. Even though the answers come easier, that is just the way life is now. Going all the way to the library to find a book for a simple question doesn't make you any smarter.

Yes it can make you dumb because of trends going on in social media like tide pod or smith, also it will saffect your eyes. This is also good for you as for learning but nowadays its mainly for fun (other than normal school rn.)

I think technology is making people smarter. This is because we can learn new things from the internet, that would usually take us a while to learn, or maybe we would never learn before. For example, you might need to go to a library to find a book about cooking recipes, but with technology now days, you can just search it up and have you answer in a minute.

I think that technology is making people more dumber than smarter. The reason I think that it is making people dumber is because for example, lets say homework. When you get home and you start doing homework that you don't know how to do, you are more likely to look on google or a search engine for the answer rather than looking at notes, or the steps to finding the answer, because you just want to get the answer. The side that argues for smarter might say that that would increase your street smart, like hacking and finding other things that school doesn't teach. The only problem with that is that that could end you in trouble, since cheating is against what the school wants you to do, so technology is only causing more kids to find the answer rather than find the steps. whereas without technology, it is making kids find the answer by themselves, using the steps, and working for their answer.

I think that technology has made us smarter overall. This is because it is extremely easy to search something up instead of going to library to find a book on what you need. There are now tons of articles of information on the internet that you can learn a lot from and you can get answers in the blink of an eye.
