Artificial Intelligence (AI)

But nowadays it's all X-factor and people are becoming more stupid. Or at least we have stopped evolving according to Attenborough.

1. How do you define stupid?
   
2. That makes no sense. Humanity is smarter than ever before. A lot of us can read, consume information, solve complex problems and have an understanding of the world around us to some degree. There are more technological advances and people that utilize them effectively on a daily basis. X-factor and television bombards everyone with information which the mind has to disseminate quickly and effectively every minute of everyday.
   Does it not require a more intelligent mind for that to happen?
   Is it even possible for a modern human to "become" more stupid?
