@ehiboss, smart gadgets has both advantages and disadvantages. I'm some ways they make us smartter.
For instance, when I was growing up, I met only land line telephone which is stationary. To make any call you must be inside an office and on the particular table where the telephone box is placed. In fact, in most offices, the phone is kept in a senior officer's table, making it a bit difficult to be reached by junior officers. With the introduction of cell phone life became smart and subsequently, smartphone followed, making life smartter.
However, the disadvantage is, cell phone makes "lying easy" subsequently, smart phone makes "smartter liers".
