Can the Sleeper Curve of Pop Culture Turns out Good?
Many Y generation people are newer pop culture friendly. Johnson argues that the Sleeper Curve’s cognitive skills make a child smarter although it is not the righteous pathway. When a child constantly plays video games or watch violent television dramas and juvenile sitcoms, he will be smarter because he will be developed cognitive skills in his brain. In fact, much young age of children watch TV shows or cartoons are smarter which the children have a sense of understanding the story in a higher level than their age without chronological steps to decode. The young ones become having preteens mindset without balancing of their physical growth.

So, you are saying that kids are growing up too fast today? While you agree with parts of what Johnson is saying, you disagree with children entering adulthood (or the realm of adult popular culture) too soon. This is also discussed in his conclusion when Johnson discusses how adult and kid culture is coming together in contemporary popular culture.
