I saw a well-known Ivy League professor speak this summer. After his talk, one person asked him about what he had changed in his teaching over the past 20 or so years, and whether the students were much worse today than back then. He said the students were not worse, but the one thing he felt he needed to change was the amount of reading he assigned. When even the very best students in his classes couldn’t finish it, or couldn’t comprehend it deeply enough, he said, he realized he had to relent on that a bit. What was the cause of this? To general agreement: smart phones.
Ok, First, You argue that society discourages long-form reading? I mean what? Have you gone outside?
Second, Do you really think that long form reading is "Mind Blowing" to a "iGener" I enjoy reading novels and I have a cell phone. Thirdly, you say that cellphones are diminishing the thinking skills of the "iGen" you seriously should have done more research before you wrote this. And, Top top it all off, You say that DEMOCRACY AND SOCIETY IS AT RISK!? I mean what. I don't even know how to respond to this besides, please educate yourself.
