>we're getting dumber
If that was the case, science wouldn't be going forward as it does. We're becoming more inept due to the super-division of labor, not dumber.
>kids weren't exposed to X before
Same as every generation of kids before them. Reading was bad because it no longer had the social element of telling stories, radio was bad because it no longer required the listener to read, television was bad because it no longer required the viewer to imagine, video games were bad because they no longer made the player follow a narrative. We should be back in the stone age or living Mad Max if we follow that line of implications, yet we reach new scientific heights every year, people live longer and crime goes down every year.
