Technology is so readily available now that everyone relies on it for information. Books are now a thing of the past for most adults. Only about 24% of adults have not read a book in the past year, according to Abigail Hess on the website https://www.cnbc.com/. 
The reason for the number of people not reading is most likely due to technology. Technology can be used for immediate entertainment, and not everyone gets this immediate entertainment out of books.
