With the advancements in technology, we are dependent on our electronic gadgets

such

as smartphones, laptops and iPads. In our day-to-day life, we

use

calculators to perform calculations and calendars to remember important dates. With the availability of advanced mobile applications, our logical thinking and creativity are getting affected. In

this

essay, I will discuss the impact of using smartphones on human

intelligence

Firstly

, we are the generation of the internet and electronic gadgets. We

use

these tools to perform our daily activities and requirements. We are using these electronic tools so that we do not have to remember anything. To demonstrate

this

, we

use

calculators to perform simple calculations which older people can do orally. We mark all the important dates on our calendars. As the skill of remembering helps to develop critical and logical thinking, our collective

intelligence

is decreasing

due to

this

Additionally

, kids

also

use

mobile applications for drawing, painting, and grammar checking. These applications barrier the development of creativity and

intelligence

in kids.

For example

, students who

use

grammar correction software cannot develop writing skills properly.

Secondly

, there is a new software in the market by the name of ‘ChatGPT’.

This

AI tool helps to provide solutions for our problems. We just have to write a question for

this

automation, and it will provide results in a few minutes. To cite an example, I personally have used

this

AI tool to write emails for work, articles for LinkedIn, and posts and captions for my social media account. The solutions provided by

this

app are detailed enough. The major drawback of

this

tool is it will kill the creativity, language skills and

intelligence

of our generation.

To conclude

, using smartphones is a barrier to the development of cognitive skills. It is a matter of concern.
