I wouldn't necessarily say we've become stupider, but rather more linear. Because of clocks, business, mobility, etc., we've become less observant in the "now" and increasingly centered around the future, so ordinary signs with less-than-ordinary messages are unnoticed and irrevelent to our daily, often chaotic, lifestyles.
