I think I am in some ways. Work is so automated these days, that I don’t find myself exercising basic math and language skills much these days. If I need to do some math, I use the calculator. I really don’t know why I bothered to bust my behind with calculus courses.
If I need to write, an automated spell check and grammar check does all the work for me…
All I remember from English grammar is independent and dependent clauses. Oh and conjunction junction, what’s your function.
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
yea, new age technology is making up stupider day by day by doing almost all of the work for us, in that case we don't use out brains as much.
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
Finally you realized, I am sure some people will go on and will issue a certificate as well 
on a serious note, my math skills aren’t the same as 7-8 years ago when I was going to school.
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
:nahnah:
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
I agree with PCG. All those time learning calc/trig crap is not use now…Calculator zindahbad 
I was never good in math anyways except the time of examz :halo:
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
Most of you wouldnt even know the word LOGARITHMS 
yeah -calcs and pocket PCs have made school / college math a walk in the park
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
I know logs ...but not without a table or calc :D
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
See I know logs, but I just don't know the real practical use of them. Like if it was in an equation, okay, I can work it out in my head even. But, like I remember covering the practical apps in calculus. I just honestly don't remember it, nor do I find myself using it.
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
Now seriously, why would you use algebra and calculus in ur everyday life? :p
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
^ engineers might know ..
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
Yeah, well, not English majors like me 
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
it is true w/ any skill that you don't use on a regular basis - you will tend to forget it.
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
to calculate your body density, volume (area under curve) etc. 
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
read books, newspapers, cross words and use the official guide to GMATS book :(
I usually read fiction novels which is why my grammar is ok but my vocabulary is not so expansive.
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
im an english major and I barely read books (for fun) anymore :(
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
Well suddenly in ur professional life u'll be needing those statistical analysis functions and formulas that u thougth u wud never see again DOH.
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
I am afraid the problem might be gender specific …

I remeber most of the stuff that i have learned in school. I did not hate any subject in school, Every subject was interesting but in college few of them became burden .
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
i dont think intelligence is a function of log tables and conjunctions.
if you're finding yourself less skilled in work you need to learn to aur baat hai. that shouldnt ideally happen for another 40 years.
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
im guessing you took all english/poli sci classes
Re: Are YOU getting more stupid by the day?
and yes i am getting stupider, I dont remember simple math and biology HAWHAW
