Includes Introduction; Bibliography; Index and About the Author. "This shocking, surprisingly entertaining romp into the intellectual nether regions of today's under-thirty set reveals the disturbing and, ultimately, incontrovertible truth: cyber culture is turning us into a nation of know-nothings. CAN A GREAT NATION CONTINUE TO ENJOY POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC VITALITY IF ITS CITIZENS REFUSE TO GROW UP? For decades, concern has been brewing about the dumbed-down popular culture of young people and the impact it has on their futures. The dawn of the digital age once aroused our hopes, the Internet, e-mail, blogs, and interactive and ultrarealistic 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 teeens woudl use their know-how and understanding of technology to form the vanguard of this new, hyperinformed 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 minds had the opposite effect. According to recent reports from government agencies, foundations, survey firms, and scholarly institutions, most young people in the United States do not read literature (or fully know how to), work reliably (just ask employers), visit cultural institutions (of any sort), or vote (most can'te even understand a simple ballot). They cannot explain basic scientific methods, recount fundamental facts of American history, or name any of theri local political representatives. What they do happen to excel at is - each other. They spend unbelievable amounts of time electronically exchanging stories, pictures, tunes, and texts, savoring the thrill of peer attention and dwelling in a world of puerile banter and coarse images. Anyone who thinks this is meare intergenerational grousing, the time-worn tradition of an older generation wagging its finger at a younger one, should think again. Drawing upon exhastive research, detailed portraits, and historical and social analysis, The Dumbest Generation presents an uncompromisingly realistic study of the young American mind at this critical juncture. The book also lays out a compelling vision of how we might address its deficiencies. To fail to do so may well mean sacrificing our future to the least able generation in national history." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
