The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future.
CE industry makes consumers stupid :
The consumer-electronics makes consumers stupid—at least the young ones. That’s the conclusion one might infer from Mark Bauerlein’s new book, "The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future."
The conclusion is also the corollary to the hypothesis “Stupid consumers plague CE industry,” which I wrote about on Friday. It all has a nice symmetry—the consumer-electronics industry fries our brains, so we are too stupid to be able to set up and operate consumer electronics.
Some of the highlights: young people don’t read books; they spend their time and money on Grand Theft Auto instead. lolz :D
In short, concludes Bauerlein, “"Kids are drowning in teen stuff delivered 24/7 by the tools, and adult realities can't penetrate."
