Mass Intelligence

There is an interesting debate that just finished on the Economist - topic is Mass Intelligence. The debate topic is: "This house believes that in its appetite for culture, the world is wising up more than it is dumbing down." See the link for the entire debate - an interesting topic and in many ways, relevant in our day and age, while many of us try to define what is best for our children - from 'enforcing choices' like TV vs. reading vs. computer games etc.
