Why, These Kids Today, They Don't Even Know What A Buggy Whip's For
-
The thesis in a new book is that technology is making kids dumber, because they have trouble with older technology. Why, they can't figure out ice cube trays or can openers! Yet they can master complicated video editing, so... look, technology hasn't made people dumber so much as it's changed what kids NEED to know. I'm still alarmed when they don't learn how to do math on their own without a calculator, but, let's face it, why would they need to know about ice cube trays in 2010? (Boston Globe)
