Newsweek’s latest issue has an article about the decline in adult literacy that are found in the Generation Y kids.
“There is no memory the past, just like when the Khmer Rouge said this is day zero.”
“Historical memory is essential to a free people.”
This is funny. I’ve noticed that friends and family members who are short on memory are the ones who have done well as adults. They haven’t really contributed anything to society but they are good at not rocking the boat. This may be a good sign. It may mean that people are becoming passive and sweet. Meanwhile, nobody knows what to do about those melting icebergs and the President who can’t run the country.
The writers of the article say that technology is to blame for the stupid kids. Specifically, they say that multi-tasking is the culprit.

Movies, sports receive far too much attention, not much thinking required. Just brute strength and minimum talent but willing to take your clothes off.
Drugs seem to be their desired option.
