I was first struck by Clement’s quote of Bauerlein, who called today’s students “the dumbest generation,” which is a harsh criticism. But, it does seem that people are reading less these days and playing with their phones more; and I’m not sure that Twitter feeds really count as quality reading. If students want to become good writers, they have to read works by other good writers. That is not to say that those works cannot be in electronic formats. As with printed books, it is the teacher’s job to curate a reading list that will benefit students, and give them some styles to emulate while they discover their own voice. The emphasis should be on preparing students to produce their own writing. Clement, as well as Bjork, argue that digital technology actually provides a better medium for students to create their own works, even if those works seem strange to those who have resisted changing technology.
