But when I do, I have to
I don't read for fun

Reading has been emitting knowledge and entertainment for thousands of years. In ancient times, those who read frequently were considered educated, wise, and respected.

Now, however, this formerly admired art of literacy is fading exponentially. The percentage of adolescents who don't read for pleasure has doubled over the past 20 years. In other words, newer generations are more prone to watch a movie than to read a novel.

And it doesn't end there. Even the older generations are getting affected by this shift of paradigm; a newspaper was a common daily necessity, now, the percentage of elders that read a newspaper has declined by 18% over the past decade.

Why aren't people reading as much as they used to?

Current role models do not manifest reading. Especially when talking about today's adolescents - the TikTok generation. New celebrities are mostly entertainers (comedians, actors, dancers, etc...) and fashion models, none of whom inspire literacy. This disregards newer generations from engaging in any type of literacy.

Some people have too much on their plate. Students have a lot of scholarly reading to do. There is no brain capacity left for pleasure reading. The same goes for employees. Some people prefer to spend their free time doing things that don't require a contribution of their frontal lobes (the part of the brain responsible for focusing, reading, and writing). Not to say that people in the past decades weren't busy, but with the development of newer technology and an easier lifestyle, people prefer to spend their free time doing something easier than reading.

A lack of parental guidance. When our parents don't direct us towards literacy at a young age, it becomes harder for us to take initiative and get motivated to read by ourselves. Our parents build the foundation of our character. If they fail to include characteristics such as reading at a young age, then they leave us to make the decision ourselves when we grow up. And with the modern technology we're experiencing, choosing technology over literacy as a form of entertainment is inevitable.

Mightly, tall, and strong. Sadly,

They are all dead now.
