How do we bring back the quality tradition in popular culture that was from the beginning of pop culture up until when things started declining? It must have to do with starting at home first. The people are generally dumber too (Have you never saw the movie Idiocracy?). We need a new awakening.
There's definitely a knowledge trade off.
For instance, just look at computer literacy in the 90's haha. Not every home had a computer, and basic concepts such as e-mail and URL's were alien to most folks.
On the other hand, we're losing the complexities of our language. Take a novel or letter from the early 20th century and it's astonishing how beautifully written there are. Even today, writers would be hard pressed to replicate their exquisite use of language.
Research shows that IQ increases with each new generation but it's easy to think otherwise when people screw up basic facts like geography and science concepts.
I think we're on the verge of a new era of creativity in which reality tV and canned blockbusters will no longer cut it with folks.
