The Flynn effect? Unfortunately it seems to have reversed in the 1980's, and average IQ has actually gone down since. This could partially be explained by the fact that natural selection isn't working any more (or doesn't select for intelligence) in a society where we aren't constantly fighting to survive (and every time I turn on the TV, I somehow think there might be something to it).
