Where have all the readers gone? Long time passing...

I should preface this with I can not believe the complacency at which people no longer read anything any more. If it isn't just a short snippet on wikipedia no one wants to take the time to know it. I really feel that this is b/c of the current school systems. From elementary school to universities a simple overview is all that is gone into. To go in depth just takes too much time. But to go and see a 2 1/2 hour marithon love story @ the movies is almost a socialistic duty. How sad.
