Yes, we are getting smarter. A recent study estimates +3 IQ points every ten years.  But that is an average and it's not much.

Gaming's probably the ultimate first world problem.

Detroit's problem is both cultural and economic.  The city has been hemorrhaging people since the "white-flight" purges of the 50's, to the point that the only people left are the "old guard" group of people that will never leave, the drug dealers and other criminals (who are also on their way out, following the last wave of people), and those that live in poverty who can't afford to live elsewheres.  The problem is...  too complicated to get into.  What were we talking about?  Coffee?

Sorry I am so late to reply.
I have some sources for the earlier statments.
Increasing IQ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect
Low crime rate: http://www.nytimes.com/20...5/24/us/24crime.html?_r=0

I say every generation is different, not better or worse, just products of there time.
