I grew up in a house with a rotary phone and a meticulously maintained phone book (written in cursive.) If I'm too young to have been able to reliable hone my cursive-parsing skills, what can we expect of younger generations?
The Flynn effect suggests people are generally getting smarter, remembering things better, etc. Something is happening to cause younger generations to be generally better than their ancestors. IQ scores have their problems but it's still a hopeful sign.
