Have you seen an IQ test? It's the most neutral thing there is, culturally-speaking.

Also what does it mean to be 1970/2019-smart?

1970 smart is being able to diagnose and repair a problem with your own car or maybe having hobbies that require some form of creative thinking and problem solving.

2019 smart is to know how to browse Instagram while on your way to work without running headfirst into a wall.

2019 smart is figuring out how to build webapps, hacking on microcontrollers or other hobbies that require some form of creative thinking and problem solving.
