I think that some of the dumbing down of Society can be attributed to technology. I guess it could go back to the pocket calculator or maybe even further. People in the past had to know how to add, subtract... remember phone numbers, read, write, spell, navigate, think, fix things...
Regardless. Schools have failed Society. If teachers cannot teach simple math in kindergarten, they have failed. Math is Logic and Reasoning. My bet is the lack of math skills is by design.
But, speaking personally, I am not the speller or mathematician I once was. There is no need with auto correct, spread sheets, and all the answers provided.
Imagine being a lawyer or accountant in 1975. Your firm would need a huge library. But the library would only be a resource. The actual professional would need to know that something existed or how to research. Today all they have to do is a search.
