New College Graduates (aka NCG's) seem to have no imagination
whatsoever, with boring personalities to match.

Lack of experience with short-term human interface is common with
software and automation designers. Never mind longer term effects.

Even those professions associated with increased experience seem
unable to consider these effects responsibly, so I don't think you can
blame just one influence on something as vague and widespread as your
personal impression of 'dumbing down'.
