Another issue is that information is easy enough to find that people don't bother to remember things as much anymore, since they can just look up the majority of stuff on Wikipedia or something if they ever need to know it. It leads to people having a smaller pool of background knowledge, which makes them easier to mislead.

I question whether or not this is true. People will remember things if they find them interesting, so incurious people didn't know much in the past, either.
