Average IQ has increased over the past 50 yrs or so, but it seems to be leveling off. Researchers believe that the increase was due to smaller family sizes, more interaction with children, the spread of literacy, etc. all trends that have leveled off. Since it was an average increase, smart people got smarter as well.

The drug subculture is between the excuses the IQs are being effected. in case you went to the interior city faculties and said the youngsters first hand contained in the certain ed instructions whose moms used drugs even as pregnant, and the outcomes it truly is having on those little ones, then you could perchance comprehend it better positive. The style of youngsters with autism and researching disabilities are also growing to be by ability of the day. The community American reservations are also having a situation with fetal alcohol syndrome children whose IQs are effected. Drug and alcohol abusers are increasing at an alarming price. I surely have said as one answerer wrote, if the spelling and grammar is an illustration of what you're writing about, we are in hardship. the first answer is an party as we are getting smarter by ability of the day (sic.) you are able to't detect a cashier at a quickly nutrients who can count number replace decrease back to you.

When more and more people are becoming smarter - that's sth called progress. Your parents might have been bright students at school but their knowledge would hardly meet the requirements your kids would have to face at school to be considered bright students. Smart people know that one needs to learn and improve all the time and they do so.

It's OK, there will always be morons around to make us look smart. Amazing how many people can't switch a computer on. Even more can't switch them off....
In Western society people who can't be trained to do skilled work or educated are becoming unemployable in the 21st century. it is just a waste of money replacing them with machines like road sweepers.

I think people today are becoming more PROFICIENT, but not necessarily smarter. Greater access to more resources (especially the Internet) allow people to get more information, but it does not necessarily make them more able to understand or analyze everything they encounter.
As far as perceptions go, there's always going to be confusion between proficiency and intellect.
