Why Bother?
Well, if reading skills go down, it's a direct result of less necessity of reading in society. In that respect, it makes perfect sense. If human beings didn't communicate through writing, people would never develop reading skills in the first place. Now, william, I know you want everyone to realize how smart you are because you're well read. But the fact remains that people read because it was an essential part of becoming a member of society. If it's not, then people won't. And if you disagree with me, let me ask you this: why don't you read, say, hieroglyphics(sp?)? Because it's not important.
