Is it me...or is the world getting dumber?

Sure, it's a rhetorical question...but I honestly feel like society is going downhill fast. Certainly, reality television and the latest escapades of your favorite steroid induced gel-daddies on the boardwalk can't help...but in an age when anyone who isn't anybody can broadcast their thoughts to the world... I feel like we are being overwhelmed with useless knowledge.  Sure, my generation can separate school-taught lesson from TMZ's latest trash, largely because we once knew a time without instant tabloids in social media. But is there any hope for future generations?

...for the record, I'm not claiming that my pointless banter isn't making matters worse. :)
