here's the definitive answer... It depends....

If you sit in front of it for 4-6-8 hours a day on facebook and youtube and games, it likely will not only make you dumber, but also a very boring person and eventually pretty lonely...

On the other hand, if you use it for a couple hours a day to look up things you are interested in (World Cup Soccer news is big for us right now - and Golden Eagles) then it could make you more informed, if not smarter.....

Just my 2 cents worth :)
