by Manfred Spitzer (translated into Romanian by Dana Verescu), Humanitas, 2020

Abstract

Every technological advancement that facilitates communication and the spread of information (motion pictures, radio, television, computers, smartphones and Internet) has been greeted by the public as the new way to improve diverse fields, including the educational system. Manfred Spitzer, neurosciences expert, specialized on studying the learning processes points out in the book Digital Dementia that a fashionable information and communication technological discovery is not necessarily compatible with educating the minds of the youngest.
