Dumbest generation?

My generation is regarded as one of the dumbest generations ever because we can't say what the largest lake in America is or explain what a "Colored Entrance" sign is. This is based on that we don't hold onto info that is regarded a valuable. I find this to be completely wrong. My generation, while not retaining "important" info, does retain skills and info that is useful to a developing mind. These skills come from the constantly developing technology. All of the technology in today's society is said to be the cause of our stupidity because we don't need to flex our minds as much to find information, when it actually helps to improve our minds. The skills learned from technology help the mind to be more flexible and reactive to changes. Like in a video game, the environment is constantly changing and there are a lot of puzzles to solve. This helps to improve the mind to adjusting and changing environments and to solve puzzles. It is true thought that my generation is not as hard working and persevering as past generation and this is due to technology. Technology has completely changed the day to day life of almost every person. While allowing us to do more things at a quicker pace, it has also made us impatient and lazy. So even though my generation doesn't hold onto information that is thought to be important, we still learn skills that help our minds in day to day life.
