If I were to pick a new cover for Mark Bauerlein's The Dumbest Generation, I would choose this image. Although this image consist mainly of words, it captures the idea of what I perceive this book to be about (considering I haven't started reading it yet). Those of us in the younger generation (the under 30 group as Bauerlein claims) are obsessed with "The Google." We rely on it to answer everything. In fact, to find my image for this assignment I "Googled" creative commons images and went through the pages. What captures me most about this image, though, is the nothing aspect. Google does not provide all the answers, which is the argument for the book.
