Denouncing Mark Bauerlein's book The Dumbest Generation

[mutefx]

Did any of your, amazingly authoritative, research involve....I don't know.....reading the book he was promoting?

I mean, your point about a 13 year old choosing an xbox over reading is pretty much a mainstay of his book, but he's asking why adults treat it as an enriching experience comparable to reading.

The stats are in the book. Technology has become more available and pervasive, and test scores for American youth have gotten worse. It's a solid case against youth ego, like yours.

@mutefx Um, if anything I lack ego. I'm even brave enough to admit it. At the time of making this video I admit I was angry because I was rather offended that he would entitle it The DUMBEST Generation. How would you feel if some one called your generation dumb. Would you just take it? I don't think so.
