Reading
Why do people not read anymore? Why has it suddenly gone out of fashion? Is it because there are 'better' things to do, that don't use so much imagination and brain activity, like TV, computers and video games? I'm proud to say that I've never played a video game, or even gone into the same house as a Playstation, etc, which I must add if extremely hard in today's society.
On that point, is today's society to blame for the lack of reading? In advertisements, the things often advertised are products that move away from reading and take away the necessity of books. When was the last time you saw an ad for a bookshop or author on the TV? I know here, the last one I can remember was at least 5 years ago. But I guess that's what they're trying to do--the dumber and less educated the person, the more likely they are to believe that life revolves around a video game.
Is marketing more like brain washing that suggesting, then? Is everything you see in an ad something to make you believe that it is the best? If so, then advertisements are there to brain wash you into thinking that you need this and that.
Okay, so advertisements are brain washing, reading is due to the brain washing of advertisements, and advertisements are made in the hope of making money.
So does it come down to money, then? Is that the reason that we don't read? When I started this post, which is kind of like a rant, I wasn't heading in that direction at all.
Even if I'm wrong, or if I'm right, this rant is over and I will type again later!
