Decline of cultural literacy

How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes our Future?

The Emory University English professor Mark Bauerlein demonstrates how the internet is making young people increasingly ignorant about almost everything except online video games and the narcissism of self-authored internet content. He draws a depressingly consistent causal relationship between the rise of digital literacy and the decline of cultural literacy. The more skilled kids become in using the tools of the digital revolution, he demonstrates, the more ignorant they become about the objective world around them.

The informational abundance of the Web 2.0 age, according to Bauerlein, is creating a famine of intelligence. And so the most tangible fruit of the digital revolution is the "dumbest generation", a term Bauerlein borrows from Philip Roth's The Human Stain, a dark novel about the collapse of educational standards in a digitally infatuated America.

But what can people say and what can they do in a capitalist country where the regime has achieved stability and does not encounter any difficulties in the short term, where the population is not politically active, where (as is the case in the United States in particular) even industrial actions occur very rarely and remain very limited in scope?

This principle maintains that our world today continue to be a world because it works after the decline in its main structures. It is a condition of its existence .
After the decay is removed, and the filling is placed, problems can actually occur. It is our live to cope with this kind of situation.
