TÉKA | How Can Reading Books Help Us Avoid Becoming the Dumbest Generation?

MCC Podcast

In the latest episode of the Teka podcast, my guest is Mark Bauerlein. We discuss some interesting questions: Have we really become more intelligent with the rapid advances in communication technology? What to make of the shift that sophisticated people in the past were often depicted holding a book in their hand, whereas today they are more likely to be holding a smartphone? To what extent are schools and the older generations responsible for today's children being called the 'dumbest generation'? And last but not least, what is our message to today's young people?

Az MCC Podcast adásaiban érdekes emberekkel izgalmas témákról beszélgetünk. Feldolgozzuk a közélet, a gazdaság, a társadalom fontosabb aktuális történéseit, de olyan kérdéseket is napirendre veszünk, mint például a művészet, a család vagy a vallás. Vendégeink között oktatóink, kutatóink, vendégelőadóink kapnak helyet. Mindenkinek kellemes időtöltést és szellemi feltöltődést kívánunk.
