Is Modern Technology Really Making Us Less Intelligent?

New Scientist. Science news and long reads from expert journalists, covering developments in science, technology, health and the environment on the website and the magazine.

George Orwell once wrote that every generation “imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it”.

Today, the second part of that observation feels more astute than ever, as we face constant concerns about the ways modern technology is supposedly destroying the minds and cognitive abilities of children and young people.

For decades, scientists have noted the occurrence of the Flynn effect, which essentially describes how, in terms of performance on various tests, each generation is more intelligent than the previous one. In recent years, this phenomenon has sparked debates about whether the rise of technology is actually contributing to a decline in cognitive abilities.

While some argue that constant exposure to screens and digital devices is leading to shorter attention spans and decreased critical thinking skills, others believe that technology has the potential to enhance cognitive abilities through access to vast amounts of information and interactive learning platforms.

It is clear that the impact of technology on intelligence is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires further research and analysis. As we navigate the digital age, it is essential to consider the ways in which we can harness technology to promote cognitive development and critical thinking skills, rather than simply viewing it as a threat to our intelligence.
