There have been quite a few articles about how researchers have found a way to improve math skills in humans by sparking an area of the brain. I read the article first here: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/299922
So I suppose in the future there would be no excuse for "not understanding" something about math. If this were to really enhance mathematical skill though, imagine the combinations for various professions! Aside from Math and Graphic Design, which I already know is more useful than many think, we could have Super Math Journalists or Super Math Judges! (Boy it was difficult to think of professions that didn't seem to use math that much.) But of course the main target of this research were those who have "degenerated" in their math skills or have a mental disability such as dyscalculia.
Eventually, with more studies like this, the world will come to at least respect mathematics and the capabilities of it rather than fear it, as has been the case for centuries.
