Is Technology Making Us Smarter or Lazier?

From instant searches to AI assistants, humans rely on tech for knowledge and decision-making. Are we enhancing intelligence, or eroding critical thinking and problem-solving abilities over time? How can society balance convenience with cognitive growth?

It is certainly making me smarter. The question of whether the tech is making us smart or lazy depends on how you are using it. For example, if you are using smart phone to endlessly scroll social media, tech is certainly making you lazy.

Technology can make us smarter by giving instant access to information, tools, and learning opportunities. At the same time, it can make us lazier if we rely on it for tasks we could do ourselves. How it affects us depends on mindful use and balancing convenience with active thinking.

Technology can make us smarter by giving instant access to information, learning tools, and collaboration. At the same time, it can make us lazier if we rely on it for tasks we could do ourselves. Its effect depends on how intentionally we use it, either to enhance skills or replace effort.

Honestly with AI tools becoming so advanced these days, I feel like tech is making us a bit lazier in some aspects. It's really hurting those in specific jobs like artists, because now anyone without any art skills can generate images and they are starting to look more legit as time goes on. But I also think these same tools can really help workflow, just as long as it's not directly taking away talent or jobs from people.
