I think degenerating of language has been happening for like, 2000 years, constantly changing to adapt to the times.
Also, I don't think there's a "lack of interest in the pursuit of knowledge" compared to century ago, instead of absorving knowledge from books, it's moved on to connecting with massively large outlets of people through the globilization and internet. The social aspect of knowledge has greately increased, while desire to learn history has decreased, but as a whole sum I think it's actually on the rising.
