TÉKA | How Can Reading Books Help Us Avoid Becoming the Dumbest Generation?
from MCC Podcast · host MCC.Collegium
In the latest episode of the Teka podcast, my guest is Mark Bauerlein. We discuss some interesting questions: Have we really become more intelligent with the rapid advances in communication technology? What to make of the shift that sophisticated people in the past were often depicted holding a book in their hand, whereas today they are more likely to be holding a smartphone? To what extent are schools and the older generations responsible for today's children being called the 'dumbest generation'? And last but not least, what is our message to today's young people?
