[quote=Anonymous]"We’re just getting dumber as a society. Netflix and Hulu have taken the place of books and young people think of themselves as smart because they’ve binged Tiger King or Game of Thrones." Yes, social media, netflix and so on are bad but actually, this is nothing new. 35+ years ago I read constantly in MS and HS because my classes were easy in my small home town. When I went to college, I stopped reading. I read enough for college, grad school and my post-doc but never needed to read an entire book. I didn't read for about 12 years. When my wife and I moved in together, she would go to the library every weekend. I started tagging along and have read 3 or 4 or 5 books a month for the last 25 years. [/quote]
