I read "The Disappearance of Childhood" years ago, and I never realized how relevant it would become for me as a teacher (in fact, I didn't put much stock in it). Perhaps it should have been titled "2004: A Teacher's Odyssey". The problems with this imbalance that Postman refered to in his book are magnified 1000-fold since it was first published. Now I truly understand!

Definitely a paucity of Postman posted.

Hey everybody - or the few people who watch vids like this one - this is one of only two videos featuring Neil Postman left on YT, after anticonsumer's account was closed by YT a week ago. If this matters to you, type "anticonsumer" and watch our videos.

Great to see Neil Postman, thanks for posting. He was and continues to be a large influence on my music video media critique "Thus Spoke The Spectacle," which I performed last year at NYU's Culture and Communications conference. I've uploaded one of my videos from the show directly influenced by him, "Now...This," for anyone interested in a music video interpretation of some of Professor Postman's ideas.
