Actually that's incorrect
So a study was done and what they found is that when you google information you do not retain it. The brain doesn't always remember the answer because instead it remembers how fast that information was acquired so it decides not to store it. The speed of information accessibility leads to not remembering the answer.
On another note see how the brain really acts like a hard drive?
Anyhow, imagine you go through a few months studying something, that something is a of maybe science, or let's say physics.
Every week you read about it and when you don't understand something you google it instead of researching it.
At the end when you are finished studying you will not remember many parts therefore you will not fully understand the whole.
That means such easy access to information negatively affects both knowledge and understanding.

Not saying you're wrong, but you just can't be saying shyt without links.
But not only does this generation have easy access to info, opportunities and tech. We grew up with it. as a matter of fact you got people younger than us teaching their grandparents how to use their smart phones. You got pre-k kids making social media accounts on they ipads. They be on some Elroy Jetson shyt
. They have understanding.....now their attention span is another story lmao

This does not make sense. If you are studying something for a long period of time you retain the information you are studying regardless of how fast you have access to it.

taking the second person's argument, a psychics graduate who can explain the theory of relativity is smarter than newton.

no a physics graduate would not be smarter because firstly what you are referring to is not smarter but more knowledgeable.
secondly, newton is smarter. The physics graduate has more access to way more information yes. But he is studying it, not discovering it.
Newton may have known less than today's physics graduate but newton's contribution to science is huge and his contribution to what we know about gravity, contribution to math/calculus, and because his laws of motion that graduate is studying what newton developed. So he may have known less but likely understands way more. And understanding more means smarter.

One could make the case that a general rise in intelligence is what enabled universal access to said information, thus allowing for greater opportunity.
