I’m pretty sure my father, a baby boomer, never read a SINGLE book after high school. Same with my mother.
This is a perennial observation about general illiteracy in the US but who was even alive when this wasn’t the case? lol
Fahrenheit 451 is a 70 year old book complaining about this exact problem.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoI was in a computer program in high-school which required good grades to be in and some teenagers would just pretend to read the books and get a synopsis online. I wouldn't be surprised if they literally never read a book in their whole life. And those were not dumb or illiterate people.
