It's because people like things in a more visual way. If we had the tech. we have today 1,000 years ago, it'd be no different =/
I myself, am on the computer a lot, but I read a lot of things on the computer, so that makes up for any books I've missed.

Bleach Blade Battlers 2: Got it!!
DBZ: Sparking! Meteor: Got it!
Narutimate Accel 2: Got it!
Bleach: Heat the Soul 5: May 15th!
Naruto PS3 Project: 2008!
DBZ: Burst Limit: 2008!

Well yeah, that's true.
I actually meant those kids who ...ehm...(to be gentle, though~) are kind of underexposed in their way of thinkin and speakin' and probably never held a book in their hands, just sittin on the sofa, watchin talkshows or those awful daily soaps. x_X

On the other hand I think that things like ...RPG's for example are a modern alternative to books. They're like multimedia "Books" where you get to see things and have to read stuff at the same time.

I concur that this is some pretty amazing graffiti. XD I love reading, but I also love my computer (and my RPGs...). I think that it's fine if you maintain a proper balance, though. But for the record, I watch TV maybe one hour a week, if that. O.o

And sometimes it's fun to watch the soaps! They're so ridiculous that they're funny. XD

Dead men, dead men
Swinging in a tree
How many dead men do you see?
Tongue turned blue and face gone gray
Watch them as they twist and sway

I developed a theory based on Fanart:

"If you're basing it off the movie & not the book, & then you tell me that you hate reading, this tells me you have a lack of imagination & patience, which doesn't give you much hope as an artist."

I likes that, using it as my new tag ^.^

I like the "lack of imagination & patience"-thing, because that's so TRUE
man, what a world u.û

Meh, you try to discuss ANY book with people, & they're like "Oh, I only saw the movie..."
