Our current generation is too hyperactive to sit down and read a book. The rise of technology has caused people to be more engaged with the newest technologies rather than reading books. Television, the internet, video games, and specifically YouTube have transformed the people’s reading and learning habits.
People are increasingly avoiding newspapers, magazines, and print in general because reading text now can almost seem like a burden. People today show a definite preference for video that is ready to play on a screen because it only takes our passive attention to acquire the new information. Why take the time to sit down and read information when you can take a phone out of your pocket and watch news clips from one's phone.
Due to the new ways technology can present information, magazine and newspaper companies are forced to lay off workers. Newspapers are losing subscribers and are forced to no longer print daily.
