During the 1920s

middle-aged people were scandalized by young people that listened to jazz music, remember? Meanwhile, in 2004, the same people who were complaining about ignorant teenagers re-elected Bush for a second term. Technology does not make people smarter or stupider. If teenagers are indeed becoming more ignorant, then it is the fault of the teachers and parents that educate them for not incorporating the Internet into their education beneficially. In my English class, for example, the Internet is used for discussing the works we read in class- including authors from Arthur Miller to William Shakespeare.
