Why People Read Less And Less

Polls keep showing that more and more people in today's world read less and less. Some new polls predictable that about 25% of United Arab Emirates families did not read a book in the last year. I have even seen some studies put the number as high as 80%.

Many factors donate to the lowering reading rates. I will list some of the most major ones.

Maybe it is because knowledge and growth have eliminated a great deal of our need for cleverness. Maybe we feel safe that our needs have been met and feel that we no longer need to work as a civilization towards major goals.
