We Are Becoming Dinosaurs

I don't think technology always make people smarter.
Technology makes devices smarter. People more dependent on devices.
Technology makes devices connect. People disconnect.
Technology makes warp speed. People warped - think.move.speak less...
Unable to function without their devices. 
Unable to shake addiction to swiping. 
Unable to remember stuff without referring to the "smart" or asking siri, Bixby or google.
Unable to communicate in human languages in full sentences. 
Unable to read visual cues.
Unable to empathise with other people.
Unaware their little grey cells are dying - from exposure to electronics, from failure to exercise the real physical brain.
Unaware they are NOT becoming smarter - but in fact becoming dumber.
Unaware they are becoming dinosaurs. Shrinking brains, shrinking limbs, weakening necks, growing bums, unsmiling, unhappy.
Soon to be extinct.
Smart or not?
And oh....ever observe the expression on some folks when they are staring into their smart devices?
Jaws clench, one finger tapping at the screen?
Yup - dinosaur!
