Author Mark Bauerlein doesn't trust anyone under 30.
In his book, "The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future," Bauerlein explains that ours is a generation that has been robbed by the very technology that was supposed to make us more intelligent.
Though I want to vociferously reject Bauerlein's views, I confess that I agree with much of what he says.
This country's youth (and I'm proud to still be a part of that club) is way over- stimulated and over-medicated for that matter.
How many phone numbers do you have memorized? How much time do you spend reading? When was the last time you actually wrote a letter (e-mails don't count)?
What do you think about this Bauerlein know-it-all? Are we doomed?
Anywho, this should help restore your faith in the kids.
Stay tuned because in the next couple of days I'll be reporting on a local soon-to-be college freshman who's just 16 years old. It should be cool so I'll post it here.
