Every page contains information/observations that I am compelled to mark for citation later. Postman makes an interesting case for the creating of "childhood" with the advent of the printing press and its disappearance with technology and a visual culture. ( ) Neil Postman says that childhood disappeared in the dark ages because literacy, education, and shame were lost. Childhood began when one was 7 years old because all the information they had was the same as the adults had. There were no adult secrets or process of developing skills that adults needed (e.g., reading). "Television cannot whisper." Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
From the vogue for nubile models to the explosion in the juvenile crime rate, this modern classic of social history and media traces the precipitous decline of childhood in America today-and the corresponding threat to the notion of adulthood. Deftly marshaling a vast array of historical and demographic research, Neil Postman suggests that childhood is a relatively recent invention, which came into being as the new medium of print imposed divisions between children and adults. But now these divisions are eroding under the barrage of television, which turns the adult secrets of sex and violence into popular entertainment and pitches both news and advertising at the intellectual level of ten-year olds.
