    Both pretty much the same. What are you measuring intelligence by? Like Stephen Hawkings says, measuring IQ is for losers.

    No doubt that these guys are intelligent but it doesn't mean that today's generation is dumb.

    But you know i think...I think that nowadays ther isnt much to discover and hence the mind wont be challanged. All we do nowadays is build on previous work.

    I don't believe that intelligent has anything to do with generations. Just because 'ancient' people did some fab jobs and researches and we 'modern' people are following them as theories ?
    I believe that they were in golden period where the whole world was still to be explored and they explored it. Now when most of the things are already known, people really dont have to do something really new.

    i am the smartest too...

    Anyone seen the "Idiocracy" movie?
    I believe it shows our future in 500 years time, if we-
    Don't stop eating junk foods,
    Being lazy and hurting people,
    Bad politics,
    Not using renewable resources and using waste non-renewable resources just for money
    Poorer gets more poorer and richer get more richer,
    Neighbors don't even know who lives next.
    And more.... we are acting dumb and will spoil our children soon.

    I don't think that factor is enough to compare intelligence of someone...

    agree. The criteria of intelligence need to be distinguished.

    My credits go to the old generations in the history; not for being more intelligent, but for achieving more with less resources and less access to knowledge.

    Both are equal at their own times and places. My thought is just that, whatever you achieve just dont forget or destroy the mother nature. We have already seen lots of disasters and natural calamities because of the inventions since last decades.
