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.

When people warn of the country's future, they usually talk about competitiveness in science, technology, and productivity, not in ideas and values. The current domestic situation demands that we generate not only more engineers, biochemists and entrepreneurs, but also men and women experienced in the way of culture.

赵晓力老师安利的,把年轻一代都黑粗翔了,掩卷似乎还能听见作者在痛心疾首地大呼,年轻人啊,要少上网多读书啊!!!

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

非常好的一本书,值得所有大学生一看。

倒不觉得数字时代让这代人变得“更笨”了,而是将那些本来就笨入膏肓的人更加明显地暴露了出来,并形成了一种“我笨故我在”甚至“我笨我自豪”的以笨为荣文化。
