How comes the PC back then revolutionized mostly in a positive way meanwhile smartphones seem to dumb down people?
Now even cars get ruined by this stuff.

Because computers were made for doing work. Most normalfags looked at them and said "fuck this nerd shit." On the other hand, tablets and smartphones were made for normalfags. This more or less answers your question. When any market shifts to catering to the lowest common denominator, this inevitably happens.
The PC was inconvenient. You had to go out of your way to buy it (so fucking expensive), set it up (a mystery to most with no experience) and make use of it (dial-up internet subscription, buying software, etc.). It was a high barrier to entry but rewarding for those who bothered.
Smartphones are convenient. They're relatively inexpensive, easy to set up and offer no obstacles for use. They play to the lowest common denominator, the mindless consumers of our societies.
I don't think they make us dumber. I just think they don't push us to be better.
