This shocking, lively exposure of the intellectual vacuity of today’s under thirty set reveals the disturbing and, ultimately, incontrovertible truth: cyberculture is turning us into a nation of know-nothings.
Can a nation continue to enjoy political and economic predominance if its citizens refuse to grow up?
For decades, concern has been brewing about the dumbed-down popular culture available to young people and the impact it has on their futures. At the dawn of the digital age, many believed they saw a hopeful answer: The Internet, e-mail, blogs, and interactive and hyper-realistic video games promised to yield a generation of sharper, more aware, and intellectually sophisticated children. The terms “information superhighway” and “knowledge economy” entered the lexicon, and we assumed that teens would use their knowledge and understanding of technology to set themselves apart as the vanguards of this new digital era.
That was the promise. But the enlightenment didn’t happen. The technology that was supposed to make young adults more astute, diversify their tastes, and improve their verbal skills has had the opposite effect. According to recent reports, most young people in the United States do not read literature, visit museums, or vote. They cannot explain basic scientific methods, recount basic American history, name their local political representatives, or locate Iraq or Israel on a map. The Dumbest Generation is a startling examination of the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its consequences for American culture and democracy.
Drawing upon exhaustive research, personal anecdotes, and historical and social analysis, Mark Bauerline presents an uncompromisingly realistic portrait of the young American mind at this critical juncture, and lays out a compelling vision of how we might address its deficiencies.
Mark Bauerlein is a professor of English at Emory University and has worked as a director of Research and Analysis at the National Endowment for the Arts, where he oversaw studies about culture and American life.
从非学术的角度来说,是部值得一读的书
评分1. 书面语的词汇量比一般口语要大得多;2. 有效的输入才能有价值地输出;3. 娱乐至死;4. 了解前人的历史与思想,才能看得更远;5. 快速阅读不等于有效阅读;6. 互联网对学习新知识的帮助,并不如预想中大,甚至是一种阻碍(注意力分散)
评分论调过于悲观,用来吓唬吓唬人就够了。即使是在作者认为的"最愚蠢的一代"里,对互联网的使用也存在分化(differentiation)。正如同有人拿豆瓣约炮有人拿来找资料、有人捧iPad打游戏有人把它当工具箱。Elizabeth Eisenstain在70年代那本"the printing press as an agent of change"就认识到了互联网的价值之一是使得原本属于少数精英分子在特定情况下才能得到的资源变得更加大众化。

评分这本书压缩成一篇数据分析报告就行了 浪费时间看的
年轻人真的应该好好看看,到底我们的时间还有我们未来的各种各样的可能性到底是怎样被自己挥霍掉的?长时间黏在屏幕旁边,不读书,教师和长辈的溺爱,这些因素使千禧一代变成了最愚蠢的一代。生活富足,资讯顺畅,却智力下降。 虽然这本书讲述的是美国的情况,但是对中国的年轻...
评分如要更快成长,应当习惯性做总结,这是大学老师给我们的一则训言。 对于每一次新事物的获取,我很少做自我系统性的总结。这一劣根性毛病理应尽早革除、燃尽、掩埋,以致作为新生的肥料。 从刚看完的一本书<最愚蠢大一代>开始,愿长此以往,挣脱愚蠢的禁锢,向独立性思考人格...
评分 评分网络技术的发展突飞猛进,对于我自己来说,大一大二几乎是沉浸在网络的世界里,课程什么的在考试前一周临时抱佛脚就能合格,优秀与合格也没有多大差别,反正评奖学金都是以学分制来,最后折算的差距仅仅在小数点后第三位,关键的是活动加分。所以我完全忽略课堂,教师,沉迷于...
