What was the question again?
I think it depends on how you define intelligence. Kids these days are certainly not getting more stupid. In Denmark today 4th graders read the equivalent of 5th graders 20 years ago.
However, I do think that the massive amount of information we are bombarded with continually lessens our ability to immerse ourselves in a topic. Speaking for myself, my attention span definitely has diminished. That may have something to do with getting older also (although I'm only 33).
