You...Hmm... a very interesting and intriguing post. You know what.. I have thought about writing on this subject at least 3 times.. but then backed off fearing I might not be able to do justice to it. But you brought great arguments to the table. :)<br /><br />I feel we are more informed and more resourceful than the previous generation. And I agree.. that doesn't mean that we are smarter. I also think that this generation knows a lot about everything that goes on in the world but we just store the information. In olden days, people were more thoughtful I feel (I may be wrong). There was a lot of thought action and reform. Nowadays it is more about just having an opinion (even that is mostly borrowed).<br /><br />And as you rightly said, proficiency in gadgets, internet and other stuff also is a trend of changing times. My dad might not be as proficient with the i-phone as I am, but he can fix a leaky pipe in 5 minutes which I never can. So I guess the tradeoffs offset each other there. ;) <br /><br />Anyways.. a very thought provoking post. :)Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138309630324239186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-71119889603495146302012-01-26T23:01:25.678-08:002012-01-26T23:01:25.678-08:00hahah then by that count i am smarter than you :D ...hahah then by that count i am smarter than you :D <br />yippeeee!Sujatha Sathyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448034391267400236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-31646895654797134872012-01-26T22:50:17.099-08:002012-01-26T22:50:17.099-08:00I guess that is one way to look at it. How well yo...I guess that is one way to look at it. How well you learn to use the current modes of communication or the latest gadgets doesn't necessarily translate in smartness. I'm much more classical in that sense, I say the older you get, the smarter you become because you gain that one crucial thing - Experience. So definitely agree with you. Younger is NOT smarter. :)Akshay Kumar Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254072109005538953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-56740014936657521022012-01-26T22:21:33.836-08:002012-01-26T22:21:33.836-08:00:)) thank you - first comment - on a post written ...:)) thank you - first comment - on a post written one year backSujatha Sathyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448034391267400236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-72386267144986621272012-01-26T21:55:18.971-08:002012-01-26T21:55:18.971-08:00It depends on situation...no one great....we need ...It depends on situation...no one great....we need accept the best solution for given situation....wheather it is from younger or elder does not matter...new gen has exposure with internet....so they get things early...they are smart in some ways....but they are emotionally weak....that is why more younger ones suicide....so right is always right ...if it comes form old or young does not matter.surajbegurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026425433541309684noreply@blogger.com
