The Dumbest generation

Mark Bauerlein an english professor at the university or Emory wrote a book and in that book he said that our generation, people who are under 30, are the dumbest generation. He criticize new technologies and internet. He says that because of those things young people spend too much time on the network talking to friends and going on blogs (facebook and myspace) . Since we spend most of our time on the internet we don't read enough books but it doesn't mean that we don't read on the internet.

Adults say that now a day students don't read enough, go to the museum, aren't involved in community life and don't do much home work but they are wrong to blame it on us . They are the one who should be blamed because they're the one who don't take the kids to museum or make sure we do our homework.


They also criticize that we,students, aren't smart enough because our vocabulary is not as wide as them, we're using slang, abreviation and have a bad spelling. Here aswell they shouldn't be criticising but rather support us by giving us regular exercise on that. By doing this student are contious that there are at least some people giving them support and most likely be more motivate and work harder as an result.
In the other hand if adults don't help children by giving them support kids will have no motivation and therefore are going to give up, not do their homework and not even try.
