Less or more intelligent?

We have discussed in class about how its a debate on whether technology is making us less intelligent or not. My personal belief on this we are not becoming any less intelligent as all, maybe even more intelligent. Points have been made that while we once needed to pick up a dictionary to look up  a word and we know can just google search (now even just ask our phones with voice searching) what it means and that is making us less intelligent. I say that we are not getting less intelligent we are just adapting to the ways of modern technology, we now have the knowledge of how to operate these phones and be able to google search the definition to that word. Put an iPhone that has one button and is all touch screen in the hands of someone from the 19th century and ask them use it, they would have no clue what they were even looking at. In addition to that, we have people who have to program the software behind these technologies, someone had to have come up with the aforementioned google voice searching, I don't know who or what group of people came up with that (but i can google search it) but thats a pretty inventive technology, I'd say they are pretty intelligent.
