Children are now wiser and smarter than before.

[Tungbulu]

They are not smarter, they have better connectivity, they can see everything instantly which wasn't the case before the evolution of the internet. So we should not confuse the ability to use a smartphone as the way of high intelligence. I mean I know a lot of teens and early 20s adults who does nothing but dumb shit instead of being productive, that proves my point.

And sometimes when they get access to these information, they often find it difficult to process and sometimes they even end up misunderstanding and misinterpreting it and processing it the wrong way and this is often the reason why a lot of children appears to be wiser because of those information they got access to, but you get to see that they are in reality not really wiser based on how they choose to apply the information received.

Children getting information is one thing and the other is how to process and interpret it meaningfully. Most informative activities we engage our children at are very useful but we must also on the process make ourselves available to provide detailed explanations to those informations so they won't get the opposite of what the information is trying to transfer at that particular point in time. Its normal in the life of children to see and interpret things the way to see it but should be made to understand the true meaning by there guidance if not so that which you intend to communicate can never get to the child.

True. Sometimes it’s really not about the information received, but the wisdom of application, you may have some kind of manual but without an actual experience or wisdom, you’ll not have a clue of the potential outcome of what you wanna do, and this is why the elderly are more advantaged in this area, because most of the time, wisdom can come from experience, and since they’ve been around for quite a long time, they may have gotten or gathered the experience needed to make good use of whatever information they receive at every point.

Many people may argue that teaching children about Bitcoin and investments in it is not too good for them because they are still small and young and are still undergoing childhood developments but I was thinking of something earlier today after seeing a little child who is not going up to 15 operate and use digital technology properly Almost even better than I can do use it. And one thing just came to my mind that children these days are smarter than children before And as time goes on we may be able to teach our children about Bitcoin investments earlier than normal because children will be wiser and more used to digital technology based on exposure.

You will see Children these days who can use the internet, download, upload and do other things online that we at their age could not do. With how exposed children are now, it will not be hard for them to comprehend what Bitcoin really is, and how to use it, what do you think?

Because today's kids are burger kids, haha. Well, Jokes apart, you are correct, and the reason behind that is they are living in the smart technology time that we did not have in our time when we were kids. At the same time, you will also agree with me at this point that today's kids are smart, but they are not physically strong because of fewer activities. They spent more time on screen while playing digital games, but in our time, we should play many physical games that make us strong as compare to the current generation.

No doubt, the technology has many of its benefits, but at the same time it has many many its disadvanges.
For example, we and the current generation are also getting depandable to techology for remembering things that is why our memories are getting weaker day by day. What do you think about this?

Burger kids are way more smarter and wiser than us. It is true and I agree that technology has made the kids very smarter in many ways when it comes to accessing technology or learning new advance skills however I also think there is a trade-off many children spend very less time outside and more time in front of sitting Infront of screens which is affecting their physical fitness and social development . they don't interact with people socially that may lose their confidence but as for memory I believe technology has changed how we use to remember things and now how  kids are remembering things and computers can help you to store information people often don't feel the need to memorize different thing .
Balance between using technology without completely depending on it and between the regular and physical activities like reading mental exercise should be made. they should also be added into the children daily routine without overly depending on technology.

One thing have sure made many of our kids smarter today, it is nothing other than their easy and fast access to information. It looks like information is always at their door steps. Unlike it was for us in the past, when you do not even have access to mobile phone or landlines, then who knows what it internet because even if it has existed long enough by then, I can imagine then as a child it was very easy for our parents to control what we watch and the other despite such, some information could to sneak into your ears or eyes, today we have seen the worse of it as it is almost impossible for parents to control what the children watch and listen to in this generation.

I don't see anything surprising in how children are now being smart and wise in doing some certain things in the internet, when you grow up in a place that things are done in a particular way you will actually start doing things in that way, when I was growing up I don't remember doing anything with a phone I play with my fellow children but right now children are now playing with phones and this alone will make them to understand how to use the internet and do a lot of things so it's not surprising to me that children are now becoming smarter when it comes to technology or the use of the internet because that is what they are training them up with.

[Jasmyne]

Yes I agree with you that children this days are smarter than before because of technology and actually how they are being taught. But the truth still remains that no matter how smart some children may be, they can’t still make some wise decisions on their own and probably end up making so many mistakes because they still think as children.
Bitcoin investment can be introduced to them and they will be able to understand about it very easily because of how smart they are. But most adults or parent don’t want to introduce it to them that early because they are still young to handle investment and take decisions, and also not been able to handle or manage risks.
Why do you think no matter how children are smart with gadgets and can operate them very well, most parents don’t give them access to phones or social media, because they are avoiding them from being exposed to risk too early, inappropriate content and other habits that might affect the child’s behavior.

You are right though, and there is no two ways about that, children picked what they see easily and practice on it, if they grow up in a environment that everyone are skilled with one thing or the other, they will also be like that, though its not every children that act that way, some children are so dull that even if those around them are knowledgeable and skilled, but they won't. So, I will say not all children are like that, some are totally different and its for their parents duty to find what their children really likes doing.

[Dunamisx]

We can't compare the children born nowadays to those in the past, just as we know that things are more advancing and then same are the children we are giving birth to these days, they have always been improving over time, because we also live under a developed era of advancement, whereby things are very easy and quicker to learn as this present generation are more inclined towards technological advancement and other innovations that are currently evolving.

[uneng]

Nowadays, children are born on the era of AI. It means an unique phenomenon humanity has never seen before. Most of us probably had their first contact with informatics during the childhood, but not since we were babies, and even during the childhood, it was a very limited contact, as internet access was still scarce, expensive and the hardware/software still restricted.

Now the amount and quality of stimuli these children have is much more abundant. Consequently, the impact over their cognitive development will be also superior, making them smarter. However, smartness doesn't mean wisdom. Wisdom is something missing in modern society, and as the world goes by, at some point wisdom will be an exclusive trait of AIs...

I agree with you that child now are days are more smarter and intelligent than what we are before, and he require what you teach and what you want them to learn, that when their brain will build more than other children’s that are neutral and some children are gifted from God to have some knowledge and the IQ to do some thing own their own.

[Solodoski]

From generation to generation the knowledge wont remain the same, rather there will be advancement in knowledge and to be honest the younger generation will be wiser than the former. The technology our children to come will handle will be greater. According to some persons, they say that the technology advancement in the future may cause the end of the world. If it falls to the wrong hand, it is over for everyone.

That is correct,  the level of knowledge impacted to children in schools now is completely different from the way it used to be before and helps increase there understanding.  I will say for now most children are blessed with great wisdom which is why It is easy for them to get along fastest and easily.
Although I won't say the wisdom in question is not limited to children of now because even before now same wisdom was in existence which is why they have people to look up to for mentoring

I think the reason why learning appears to be simpler right now, compared to the previous times is because there are more discoveries, more learning materials, technology advancements in the educational sector that makes learning so much easier for them. Learning for kids today is actually fun and rewarding and not as boring as it was back then.

[UpTober]

My own childhood was spent playing with friends, most of the time listening to my parents' scolding from outside the house. In my childhood, there was not much availability of smart phones or internet, due to which we used to think that our good time was playing with friends and coming home to study. However, now whose children get mobile phones from a young age and have mobile internet, due to which they start with cartoons in the beginning, but later they know and learn about various things. Due to this, when someone talks to a child, it seems that this child knows a lot and is very smart. However, smartphones and internet do not always lead a child in a good direction, those children who are deprived of parental control from a young age and only have phones, but they gradually start moving in a different direction, due to which they cannot be brought out of that addiction to using their phones later.

Yes is very easy now and that's why children are very smart and is hard to see 7 years children who cannot read because technology has been helpful and that's were most children began there learning when they have not started schooling so actually a lot of things they would teach them from there age has already been learned far through the computer they were using to learn, so actually all this things are the reason why learning is very easy and children are more wiser than before because they're exposed with so many things that was too difficult in the past.

Curiosity is one of the resosns why we think that children are more smarter now than before. You may think that their smarter originated from something else but really as technology becomes advanced children are watching and seeing how these things are working which can make them ask so many questions why life is becoming easier without any stress.

The current generation that matters (Z through Alpha born between 1997 and 2024) actually are less intelligent than their parents.

Doctors blame technology (smart phones and AI) for the decline in memorization, problem solving, critical thinking and even communication.  I became aware of this yesterday on a TED talk and this morning I asked AI for any research done.    This is based on the Norwegian study of over 730,000 military conscripts born between 1962 and 1991.   Kimi.com replied:

Generation	Approx. Birth Years	Relative IQ (1975 norms)
Greatest Generation	~1901–1924	~80–85
Silent Generation	~1925–1945	~86–91
Baby Boomers	~1946–1964	~93–97
Generation X	~1965–1980	~99–100 (Peak)
Millennials	~1981–1996	~96–98
Generation Z	~1997–2012	~93–96
Gen Alpha	~2013–2025	~90–93 (projected)

I'm Gen X - the smartest generation ever, and the only one as comfortable with digital systems as we are with manual ones.  
(This post is not to brag: I think there are other Gen Xs in the world other than me...)

At 2 years old, I was already buying my son some learning toys and he constantly love to watch the famous cocomelon show, and it really helped improve greatly, at 2 he was already reciting the alphabetical sequence and a few numbers in their numerical order, even though he wasn’t very fluent with the pronunciation but you could tell what he’s reciting by just listening to him. These were materials we weren’t opportune to use during our time, but now there are so much materials that can help even the dumbest child become smart.
