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.
the whole thing is about why Facebook and Twitter are pieces of shit
评分同学早上给的..美国前浪喷后浪..看了几个章节作罢了..作者太理想化了..虽然他说的很有道理了..不过全书还是先下结论+再补充数据论据的手法。社交网络在我眼里是个contrivance..绝大部分是假的幻想。年轻人脑子没发育完整容易被忽悠.希特勒演讲的时候有人还激动的晕过去了..精神消费品消费的全是human emotion吧...大多数刷fb自拍的孩子必然要沦为平庸的样本点,否则谁来成就文体娱明星和花街职业收割机...让美国小青年捧起经典大部头历史政治静心阅读=反人性..这大叔真是太不接地气了。网络容易造成一个幻象就是学习知识很容易但easy access不等于easy acquisition..刀工因人而异吧。医院里大概25左右青光眼好几例30岁出头就飞蚊眼的挺多的。手机是个祸害!
评分从非学术的角度来说,是部值得一读的书
