We may as well just accept it now that the people who are going be to running the country and wiping our wrinkled asses are a bunch of morons.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the increased accessibility of information. Growing up in an environment where finding out what thiamine is near effortless (relatively speaking, to previous generations) might kill the interest in learning. (ie. the may think "who cares, I can always look it up again, no point in clogging my brain with facts"

I was talking to a coworker a few years ago, and he was teaching his son who was then in elementary school, the value of "knowing" vs having to look something up - a concept that seems to be lost on an increasing number of younger generations.

Over -dependency on technology scares me.

Great point. I think you may be right. There certainly seems to be a lack of curiosity in general and that, combined with over reliance on technology, results in a very short attention span and a unique brand of apathy. These kids don't care about anything unless it happened yesterday, at the latest.
