A QUestion about reading
Is it normal for us people ranging from 13-18 years old to read slowly? i mean i myself is not a reader.. but im willing to change myself for the betterment of the future in the world, i think reading is a basic skills that should be focused unto to people nowadays especially children, and teenagers. because as i have observed people nowadays are illiterate(im not saying all people in the world but some yes) because i think one of the reason is they spent too much time on video games or watching television which is resulted in deducting their time to read or reading does not interest them at all. i need opinions that are logical pertaining to this question.

I don't think TV or video games or anything else will stop people from becoming readers. If you are interested in learning new things, you will have to read to learn them. If you want to hear a story from multiple perspectives, you will need to read fiction. Visual entertainment is a different experience from reading, just as listening to music is different from playing a sport. If people read more in the past it was only because they had few choices in how to entertain themselves; today, people read because it is pleasurable, not because it is their only option.
