World S Dumbest Generation
Reading articles about certain people calling this generation the dumbest, due to the fact that we rely on technology is absurd. Relying on technology doesn’t make one dumb. It is like saying those who don't use technology are smarter, which in fact aren't.
Technology plays a huge role in this century, but it’s here to make life easier.
Technology doesn’t make a person dumb, just like a book doesn’t make a person smart. This generation has its pros and cons just like the others, but people want to blame technology and go as if it’s a bad thing. Those people who go against technology are bias and never point out the good. I can go on and on about the ways technology is good and bad for us, but I’m more interested on the fact that my generation is being called dumb. Not only dumb, but the world’s dumbest generation.
Neil Howe wrote an article,”who is the real dumbest generation”.According to the studies he made, those who were born in the 1950’s to the mid 1960’s are truly the ones who are truly “dumb”. According to this article “this generation have performed the worst on standardized tests, acquired the fewest educational degrees and been the least attracted to professional careers.” This generation has had the lowest SAT/ACT scores as well. It is in fact proven that we are getting smarter by time. In all honesty, I believe technology has a role in that. There are those who believe this generation is excelling, and I agree. I don’t think this we are dumb. I think we are lazy, and people are confusing dumb and lazy. If students want to excel then they will, its just a matter of motivation. It is not because we are not intelligent.
Some research says that teens don’t read enough and they blame it on social networks. I can agree with that in some situations, but I also disagree. Having to read classics or the books assigned to read at school are not interesting. Kids don’t always want to read the classics, we want fun books that allow our

    Finding one book that intrigued Stephanie enough was all it took to make her an everyday reader. The same goes to me. When in my earlier years I hated reading. There were only two things I hated to do. Those two things were reading, and doing what someone told me to do. Hating a combination of the both you could see how the disposition with reading would subsist. It wasn’t until the summer going into middle school that I changed my ideals on the subject.…

    Millennials have come into a negative light in the eyes of many being blamed for problems in the world today. In Joel Stein’s article entitled The New Greatest Generation he believes they will instead of causing problems bring solutions to them and I agree with him. The millennials are a generation possessing much more resources and technology than any other generation before them by a long shot. The technological advances made from the 1980s to the early 2000 have opened a world of possibilities that millennials will and are taking advantage of to get further in life.…

    Bauerlein's first statement in the excerpt begins by saying, "This is the paradox of the Dumbest Generation" (Source 1). He introduces some of the positives of young Americans such as "... life has never been s yielding, goods so plentiful schooling so accessible, diversion so easy, and liberties so copious" (Source 1). As he concludes this list, he begins to state the original claim that people under thirty are considered the dumbest generation. Bauerlein should not have used the list of positives of the young Americans. This adds a place for the reader to attack and weakens the point that Bauerlein is trying to make. Bauerlein leaves another fragile place for a reader to take advantage of when he says, "... knowledge and skills haven't kept pace, and the intellectual habits that complement them are slipping. The advantages of twenty-first century teen life keep expanding..." (Source 1). He contradicts the idea made in the first line with the use of the second one. If current people make advances, how can Bauerlein call this generation to be the dumbest? Using Bauerlein's own words, it can be determined that he clearly lacks the ability to present and support his claim at an intellectual…

    In the article “Amid the Stereotypes, Some Facts about Millennials”, the author Samantha Raphelson talks about how in today’s world the millennial group has over 11 million people, more than the Baby Boomers, which was thought to be the biggest group. She goes on to say how the group makes up about 28.7% of the people in the United States today. Raphelson made the realization that by the year 2020 about…

    Despite the fact that those readings do give them the wisdom upon things they would never think of, it doesn’t interest them enough to think deeply about. Topics such as sports, fashion, will attract the young minds because “they satisfy an intellectual thirst more thoroughly than school culture, which is pale and unreal” (Graff 248). Talking about something a person has a strong passion about will help them create better arguments which is a skill. However, how is that possible if schools find it better to focus on subjects that interest them rather interest the students who are learning it (Graff 245). To do something like that is pointless because time and resource is being wasted on a group of people who have no fascination with what is being taught. If no one is paying attention, there is no way a person can be educated. What is being provided should result in mastery in that subject, not zone out the audience…

    He justifies this by making points such as our strong attachments to our cellphones and other devices. He says “This is the hallmark of what I have called the Dumbest Generation” (352). However, he says “Wounds from lunchroom gossip and bullying… These form a horizon of adolescent triumphs and set the knowledge of history, civics, religion, fine arts and foreign affairs beyond the pale of useful and relevant acquisitions” (350). It makes sense because the childish train of thought to Bauerlein in his article is a “drag on maturity.” I do agree with the article that an immature child’s train of thought is a “drag on maturity.” However, Bauerlein contradicts himself at the end when he says “These kids have just as much intelligence and ambition as any pervious cohort…” (352). He just talked about how his generation was more knowledgeable about history, civics, religion, fine arts and foreign affairs, yet at the end of the article Bauerlein just contradicts what he already addressed earlier in the…

    No other group of people in history has had so much information and so many ways to obtain the information than the millennials. While some choose to waste away in front of their laptops as depicted in Shelved, others choose to “geek out.” Technology cannot be harmful when used properly. It makes a vast amount of information of various topics easily accessible to everyone, especially young teens. Sharon Begley points out that according to a 2003 survey of managers, “employers are spending $1.3 billion a year to teach basic writing skills” (source 2).…

    In The Dumbest Generation, Bauerlein makes a valid point that the newest generation does not have as much knowledge as the older generations do. We have different resources which allow us to not have to know all these useless facts, such as “who wrote the oratorio ‘Messiah’ (which 35 percent of college seniors knew in 2002, compared with 56 percent in 1955) (Begley). We just learn where to find this kind of information rather than knowing it. Just because we do not know various facts that older people find to be important does not mean that we are the “dumbest.” It simply shows the transformation of what is important intellectually. However, all of this technology that helps us is also a major distraction, as portrayed in the cartoon, “Shelved” by Roz Chast. A boy is sitting in a comfy chair, headphones in, and laptop on his lap. But, the background is filled with books; he is in a library! He is so engulfed in whatever he is doing on his laptop that he pays no attention to the books around him. Chast drew the books with different faces that express different emotions, but they are powerless and can’t do anything. Chast’s comment is pretty straightforward; the books have been forgotten and abandoned. Their era is over.…

    Internet is a great reliable source. The abuse of the internet has caused our generation, also known as the Millennials to be lazier. The quick easy access of the internet causes our generation to spend more time online in our everyday lives. The internet has allowed us to do any type of research online. Spending hours at the library is no longer needed. This is a concern that Millennials have to consider changing before it affects the future generations.…

    Have you ever wondered how life would be if everyone learned the same thing? Seems like we’d all be pretty equal, living with the same knowledge. In high school, it seems logical to read the same texts in all English classes. The canon gives a list of specific works that should be read during your high school years. But reading the same texts doesn’t necessarily have just benefits. While it’s helpful in some cases, specific texts that all high school English students read shouldn’t be required. High school English students shouldn’t read specific texts because doing so doesn’t expose them to diversity and lacks multicultural literature, as well as lacks teacher flexibility.…

    Rather, our thinking capabilities flourish. As Begley mentions, the IQ scores of every country that keep them have been rising since the 1930s. The tests gauge “not knowledge but pure thinking capability”, which reflects an increase in our cognitive abilities, such as to“think critically and logically, to analyze an argument, to learn and remember, to see analogies, to distinguish fact from opinion”(Souce 2). Furthermore, a cognitive scientist at Carnegie Mellon University suggests that as long as “new information technology exercises our minds provides more information”, which is precisely what it is continually doing, “it has to be improving thinking abilities” (Source 2). Clearly, the modern digital technology is not making us less thoughtful; instead, it could largely contribute to the strengthening of them, contrary to what most critics of the digital culture would like to…

    Technology Synthesis Essay

    Technology such as the Internet is a tool that society uses in their everyday life. The Internet is interactive and can provide endless information to people in society. Before the Internet, people had limitations to the knowledge they were able to obtain and it affected the opportunities society had to grow. Author Steven Pinker who wrote the article Mind over Mass Media makes a statement saying “If you train people to do one thing (recognize shapes, solve math puzzles, or find hidden words), they get better at doing that one thing.” Because the Internet has provided people with more knowledge, different aspects of society have been able to grow i.e. science. The amount of knowledge that is provided to people is endless. Pinker says “Knowledge is increasing exponentially…” where people are unable to keep up with the amount of knowledge that is accessible to them, but as they are able to learn, technology will continue to grow. Just like Pinker says “Far from making us stupid these technologies are the only thing that will keep us smart.”…

    I learned to read and write at a young age. There are a lot of people in my family who are educators. My grandparents who both taught for the Beaumont school district would read with me and teach me to write whenever I would visit them, which was often. Throughout early elementary school I remember reading and writing coming relatively really easy to me due to my upbringing. I even read books outside of school that were not homework, and enjoyed them so much that I once got in trouble for reading in class while I was supposed to be doing a different assignment. One of the books that I read outside of school, and was interested in, was the harry potter series. Its story line and intense descriptions really fascinated me. I continued reading those through middle school, even when I was supposed to be reading a different book for an assignment in one of my English classes. But the books I was required to read in school didn’t interest me like that one did. I would tell myself I would start reading the other book as soon as I finished the next chapter, but that never happened due to me reading until I fell asleep. If I couldn’t pay attention to my assigned readings I would read the back of the book the day my assignment was due, and fake my way through the essay or test. Surprisingly that worked for me for a while until I reached junior high.…

    This is discussed in Francine Prose essay, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read.” Prose explains how not only is education important and that we have good teachers to teach but also that the teachers are teaching good material. Prose says in her essay, “... I find myself, each September, increasingly appalled by the dismal list of texts that my sons are doomed to waste a school year reading.” ( Prose, 1). In this quote Prose very clear passion for proper education is shown. Prose helps to state the fact that we must not waste our time of education reading literature that is bland and bad for the education of students. It is most crucial that we instill a passion of wanting to read and learn into students. Without this passion then we cannot properly educate children. And without properly educating them then they can not attain their highest ability of functioning in…
