A Critical Response to Mark Bauerlein's "Dumbest Generation"

This video was recorded as a Critical Response to Mark Bauerlein's book called "The Dumbest Generation". The book itself is Bauerlein arguing that the youth of today are not actually getting smarter as a result of technology, but are instead getting dumber. The cause is bad learning habits. No more reading, and more quick, fast paced hobbies like Facebook, Video Games and Television. My response to this book is quite negative, as I definitely do not agree with his conclusion. 

The response itself is meant as an assignment for my Digital Anxieties (ENGL3036) class at Nipissing University.

Songs featured in the video (in order of appearance):

Steam Powered Giraffe, "Automatonic Electronic Harmonics"
Steam Powered Giraffe, "Honeybee"
