But you have to separate overall society vs individual intelligence. You didn't see a lot of 4 year olds walking around operating Iphones/Ipads 100 years ago. Human knowledge, which is a separate matter from human intelligence, seems more likely to increase exponentially. This would, however, refer to the entire amassed knowledge of humanity, and not to the knowledge held by individual people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that 4 year olds walking around with iphones has made those 4 year olds a lot dumber, but I get what you are driving at.
