Question: In the future, do you think that we will be more intelligent or less intelligent generation? I personally think that we could be less intelligent considering in today's society almost everything is computerised and is done for us so we don't have to make much effort.

  Hi @morgancope
  Great question! I think it could go one of two ways. There is a film about the idea you’ve mentioned called ‘Idiocrasy’, where the population gradually get stupider and stupider. Maybe I am an idealist, but I have faith that there are enough people with enquiring minds still in the world to keep up our intelligence.
  
  I think your point of view is also possible though, but I hope it won’t be the case!
