Let Us Begin
To state the obvious, this website is reading intensive. A long time ago I heard a lecturer spout a statistic that had to do with how much the average person reads. I cannot verify the statement for I have no access to his research. There is a very large proportion of people who do not read anything at all. No books. No newspaper or magazine articles. No poems. No letters. They read nothing. Presumably they know how to read, but never actually use the skill beyond high school or college.
Not to worry. Video technology has arrived. Reading is obsolete.
