“Take 14-year-olds in Britain. What 25% could do back in 1994, now only 5% can do.”

Whites are losing 1 IQ point every 4 years.
It's not due to immigration, but birthrate patterns among whites. Their smart ones don't have kids or just have one, while dumber whites have a lot more. This has been going on for decades.
The article claims that technology is the issue, that the trend may be global (research will be needed). I did not see any sources in the article, but would not be surprised to find it may be true that technology has an adverse effect on youth-IQ.
It's not due to immigration, but birthrate patterns among whites.
I have read that birth patterns tend to be bimodal, I.E. you have children because you have no money, or a lot of money; which would obviously favor lower income, and therefore lower IQ families to reproduce -- because there are more poor, than rich. I have not seen hard evidence confirming this, but I also have not looked into it much honestly.
Edit:
Meta-analyses do not show a
general reversal of the Flynn Effect (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect)
There are numerous proposed explanations of the Flynn effect, such as the rise in efficiency of education, along with skepticism concerning its implications. Similar improvements have been reported for
semantic and
episodic memory.
[3] Some research suggests that there may be an ongoing reversed Flynn effect (i.e., a decline in IQ scores) in Norway, Denmark, Australia, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, and German-speaking countries,
[4] a development which appears to have started in the 1990s.
[5][6][7][8] In certain cases, this apparent reversal may be due to cultural changes which render parts of intelligence tests obsolete.
[9] Meta-analyses indicate that, overall, the Flynn effect continues, either at the same rate
[10] or at a slower rate in developed countries.
