As smart as my phone!

Recently I had a client attest that he thought smart phones make people dumb. “Dumb is as dumb does.”
Being apparently a relatively early adopter, my wife got her smart phone first, I’m in the “smart is as smart does” camp.
Would you want to hang out with your smart friends or your dumb friends? Do your smart friends make you dumb?, or do your dumb friends make you smart? Depends on, you doesn’t it? We could probably find support for both sides of that argument. Doesn’t it depend on what you do with the circumstances that come your way, the cards you’re dealt. As your growth coach will tell you, its up to you. It’s not necessarily the circumstances that make the person, it’s what the person does regardless of the circumstances.
It’s not a binary thing in the sense that we are not one or the other. We can be smart on some things and dumb on other things, smart in some circumstances and dumb in others.
