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.
論調過於悲觀,用來嚇唬嚇唬人就夠瞭。即使是在作者認為的"最愚蠢的一代"裏,對互聯網的使用也存在分化(differentiation)。正如同有人拿豆瓣約炮有人拿來找資料、有人捧iPad打遊戲有人把它當工具箱。Elizabeth Eisenstain在70年代那本"the printing press as an agent of change"就認識到瞭互聯網的價值之一是使得原本屬於少數精英分子在特定情況下纔能得到的資源變得更加大眾化。
評分非常好的一本書,值得所有大學生一看。
評分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.
評分掃讀一過。1、太羅嗦。2、書是08年的,那年KINDLE剛齣來。沒有電子書部分。
評分對於中國人,特彆是中國年輕人,基本沒用。
在马克·鲍尔莱恩笔下的最愚蠢的一代,初听之时似乎骇人听闻。作者在著述中通篇贯穿着一个悖论,即在信息化时代,面对迅捷的信息,丰富的资源,在数字环境中成长的一代为什么不但没有出现预期中的智力增长,反而在读写能力、人文素养、公民意识等方面呈现着倒退的迹象。 ...
評分最近有看美国埃默里大学的英语教授马克—鲍尔英所写的一本得罪了美国8700万青少年的《愚蠢的一代》一书,颇有些感触。 迥异于“垮掉的一代”的代表作家杰克凯鲁亚克笔下的所谓的性格粗犷豪放、落拓不羁,生活简单、不修边幅,且喜穿奇装异服,厌弃工...
