‘Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.’ Neil Postman from the introduction to ‘The Disappearance of Childhood’ At the threshold of modern era, Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote significant words: ‘You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again.’ Neil Postman, cited in the opening quote American critic and media theoretician, claims that childhood as a phenomenon is slowly fading. We can see the end of Rousseau’s dream about children as an unformed man. A world in which knowledge of our animal nature does no longer belong to the adulthood may became more barbarian and dangerous. Are we prepared for this new situation?
