Dumbing down

[Frankie Pancakes]

Dumbing down is the deliberate oversimplification of intellectual content in education, literature, cinema, news, video games, and culture.

the world is on the cusp of being offered a whole new recipe that may lead to more social dysfunction. That comes in the form of “virtual reality” which offers an even stronger form of escapism that may result in damaging the ability of people to relate to each other in the real world. Especially worrisome is the effect it might have on children that experience and embrace it. Their ability to separate this fake virtual world from reality could become impaired.

Any personal observations on this from our members?
