I love how you asked this question while completely butchering every grammar rule known in the English language, but I will answer it anyway.
In general the answer is no. Parents have more experience and are able to see things more clearly having had that experience; however, kids today are expected to learn more at a younger age yet they retain very little due to the speed at which they are expected to learn. In the pursuit of knowledge we have forgotten that kids are still kids and need time to play. We have taken away their recesses, music, arts, and drama classes and replaced them with more reading and writing. The problem is they no longer have the imaginations that are required to make those words come to life, so they lose interest. Instead the kids turn to video games where they can isolate themselves from others and play games that teach harmful values.
In conclusion.... kids today are not learning to dream and dreaming is where kids learn skills like setting goals, problem solving, and imagining things from other perspectives. Kids are growing up way to fast in a world that they do not have the skills to cope with.

Not necessarily
So are you saying you are better than Einstein
Technology changes and different generations require different skills.
Your parents may not know how to turn the PC on but do you know how to use a slide rule.
Your parents may not be able to program the VCR but can you speak and write in Latin

Academically yes.
I was the first person in the family to go to university and at the moment I am the only one who has a masters degree. I hope to be the first one to obtain a doctorate, but that has to wait until I can afford it.

I may be, but I know you are not. Why ? Because you cannot come up with a question that hasn't got a syntax and grammatical error, that too being provided with a spell-checker.

Depends. Most of us probably have access to a better education than the previous generation, so each generation is probably 'smarter' than the one before.

Hum...
The sentence 'never again' has been told by our parents, their parents, and the parents of their parents about all the wars of humanity.
Look at the news !
Are we more well cleaverer than them ?
Maybe worst I think...
