Pure ignorance

I think I need to stop being astounded at how ignorant people are. The lack of understanding and knowledge people have of things is disturbing. The only solace I can find is in looking back over history and seeing the trend on humans towards gaining more understanding and leaving ignorance behind. Will the time period during my lifetime become that second renaisance or enlightenment where we will make huge gains in that area once again? Or will human society be as stagnant as the middle ages?
