Everyone has experienced childhood; but what does childhood mean to you? For most people, childhood is perhaps innocent, happy, and free from anxiety. That is why most people cannot help missing childhood after they grow up.
The reason we miss childhood is that the world of adults is much more complicated, difficult, and uglier than that of children. But what would the world be like if childhood were to disappear? You might wonder: “How can childhood disappear? It is a necessary stage for everyone and will always be there.”
But look around you: children are becoming more like adults in terms of both clothing and behavior. They compete with adults on quiz shows; they participate in games with adults on variety shows. They have clear logic and reasoning in their speech like little adults. On the other hand, some adults consider themselves to still be children, and they are unwilling to face the world of adults. All of these social phenomena serve as a warning to us: the distinction between children and adults is blurring, and childhood is disappearing.
The author Postman wrote this book because he noticed how childhood was disappearing in daily life. The rapid disappearance made him feel distressed and sorrowful. He demonstrated evidence of the disappearance of childhood to the world with this book, hoping to draw people’s attention. At the same time, as a scholar of media culture, he discovered through observation the key impact media had on the invention and disappearance of childhood.
