I agree, it seems like society is getting dumber, but it can't be true otherwise our civilization would be moving backwards, and it's not.

I think 10% of the population gets smarter from generation to generation while the other 90% gets dumber.
Take tonight for example. History Channel is running a show on the "missing link". A nearly complete skeleton of an ancestor from 40+ million years ago. We are talking a huge scientific discovery and something really cool. But no one will watch it. There will be an episode of the Hills on or a reality show for some person who is famous because she hung out with some socialite a couple times.
