BOOK 2. THE BATH SCHOOL. N. LEVASHOV'S «SVETL BROOM» IN A. KHATYBOV'S «BATH SCHOOL» AND A LABOUR SPADE

F. Shkrudnev N. Levashov's "SvetL Broom" in A. Khatybov's "Bath School" and A Labour Spade 359 lectures, take exams, etc.) – they report that the already low level of reading and perception skills of those with whom they have to work, year after year is falling lower and lower. But they, unfortunately, DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE DEEP DEVELOPING PROCESSES , and attribute everything to the "collapse" of education, the shortage of trained teachers and the lack of adequate funding. Of course, all these exist, as you know. Even webblog- posts with the size of more than three or four paragraphs seem to the majority too hard and tedious for perception, and therefore boring and not deserving even an elementary understanding. There is hardly a person who does not hear a popular network saying – "too many letters – could not master", which is usually written in response to a suggestion to read something longer than a couple of dozen lines. It turns out to be a vicious circle – it makes no sense to write a lot, since almost no one will read it, and the reduction in the volume of transmitted thought brings to even greater feeble-mindedness not only readers, but also writers. As a result, we have what we have – mass sinking into torpor. Even people with good (in the past) reading skills say that after a whole day of rushing about on the Internet and maneuvering among dozens and hundreds of e-mails, they are not able to start reading even a very interesting book, since reading only the first page turns into a real torture. Reading just "does not go," primarily because: a) it is impossible to make yourself stop scanning the text, searching for keywords in it, and b) the complex syntax inherent in most classical, highly rich in content or science-intensive works that is completely absent in the exchange of telegraph-like SMS-eructation. The same applies to the texts presented by N. Levashov, A. Khatybov, myself, SRI of the CPS and others. As a result, one sentence has to be re-read several times! The sinsere people say so directly: I am disgusted by myself. But these are the ones who begin to understand. It is a pity that not all. Thanks to the constant connection to the Internet, such human skills as the ability to return to the once-meaningful information, analyze the read and use the imagination, is deteriorating sharply. Even worse is the fact that in 80% of cases people "go" to the Internet for dubious entertainment, or get the information from there that has not only zero, but negative cultural value. At the same time, most people (especially young ones) are tied up to their gadgets so much that at the thought of being "disconnected" from the network for at least one day, they experience not only mental depression, bordering on panic, but also a real physical breakdown similar to narcotic. You do not believe me, do you? Well, try to turn off your computer and do not turn it on for two or three days.
