PEOPLE R SURELY LACKING THE HOBBY OF READING IN THEMSELVES.INSTEAD OF PILES OF READING BOOKS ON THE RACKS, DVD AND VCD ARE FOUND.V SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF THE TECHNOLOGIES BUT NOT IN A WAY THAT HARM US.NOWADAYS MORE THAN 50% OF PEOPLE HAVE SPECTICLES DUE TO TELEVISION AND NOT DUE TO READING. READING IS ONE THING THAT SHOULD COME BACK IN PEOPLE LIKE EARLY DAYS. SOME PEOPLE COMPLAINS THAT TEEIR CHILDREN HAVE THE READING HABBIT BUT THEY READ ONLY NOVELS NOT ANY CURRENT AFFAIRS OR CLASSICS SO IAM CONFUSED IS THE HABBIT GOOD OR BAD?

BOOKS - they are not that bad
well i think it is a part of evolution, and that might be because of a reason, may be something for good, may be that is why people are going for a different approach.

I know ppl have actually stepped back from reading since television, VHS, VCD's and DVD's have come in. Even computers have had a great impact on the books industry. people have forgotten to visit libraries. I guess reading a whole newspaper everyday would help kids improve. this habit should really be inculcated into kids
