Neil Postman's 'The Disappearance of Childhood' explores how the rise of media, particularly television, blurs the lines between adulthood and childhood, eroding traditional notions of innocence and knowledge. The book argues that the accessibility of adult information has diminished the protected and carefully curated experience of childhood, leading to a generation that is prematurely exposed to complexities and anxieties traditionally reserved for adults. This raises important questions about the impact of technology and media on the development and well-being of children in the modern world.
