It's tough to judge just by TV and what people watch, especially these days. We've seen every show about cops, or doctors, or lawyers, or sitcoms with wacky neighbors, so people just want to watch something different. Even if it's stupid it's better than the latest show about sexy lawyers or a group of doctors who fuck each other then save lives when they have a few spare minutes at the end of an episode.
I would say it's a mixed bag. In some ways, people are getting smarter, in some way dumber.
I would say that art in general is in decline. When you look at music and other art forms, it really has taken a nose dive. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of the new music, but I also realize it's pure shit from an artistic standpoint.
