Is technology making us stupider?

I mean, look at geniuses of the past: Newton, Tesla, Einstein.
They didn't have computers or calculators; everything they did was done by hand or visualized by thought.
As result their brains were fit as fuck.

But nowadays we have technology that does all calculations and simulations for us.
There's no need to do basic arithmetic in your head, just use a calculator right?
So could you say this makes people stupider in a way?

Or has this technology made us equally or smarter than those from the past because it makes things more accessible?
