A certain number of experts coincide in issuing a warning: the new generations are dumber than the old ones for the first time in the history of mankind.

To be frank, the scientific background of the data is ignored, although from the beginning it is disturbing, since it turns civilization into a space super ship in the hands of a group of chimpanzees at just the most challenging moment.

A 12-year-old boy who claims his parents for the first smartphone of his life could well become the pilot called to lead his fellow men to a new paradise. In such a case, it is worth worrying, because the study, the conclusion and the warning simply highlight an everyday and universal observation: that digital children are born and raised in an environment where cognitive mechanics have nothing in common with the foundational principles of analog.

The certainty that today's children are clumsier than yesterday's should not make the beneficiary subject fall into excessive triumphalism. The foolishness is so insidious that it affects all layers of society. Any thought experiment will confirm this claim. Try to remember the list of the Gothic kings, the names of your favorite actors or your own verbal fluency. The data, so valuable in the technological world, has been externalized, turning some areas of the brain into potatoes eaten of stubble.

Feeling sluggish or downright stupid is not uncommon.

In the relationship between man and the screen there is a formidable decompensation.

The user of social networks wants to obtain happiness where there is only distraction.

With touching innocence, the fan-sniffing and the likes-hunter trust in obtaining a prize in the form of notoriety, prestige or a long audience, when what happens is that a viscous sucker steals what remains of his soul, which is not more than a poetic way of talking about empathy. 

Universal plague.

Babies are dumber, adults too. The baby, at least, can be attributed the disorder derived from the incipient; But, what can be argued in favor of the adult who dodges family gatherings or evenings with friends with one eye waiting for the notification, tickets an affair with a simple message and suffers an anxiety attack if

thinks otherwise.

It is reasonable to think that the experts have been wrong.

They try to temporarily limit a plague that is as infinite as death.

To be stupid, you don't need more than a mobile phone, two social networks and three selfies a day.
