In Raksha Shetty's CBS News article, "Hugh Decline in Book Reading," he interviewed Dana Gioia, president of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA ), about the decline in literacy. students read for pleasure. Gioia states that "what we are seeing is a huge cultural shift from print to electronic media, and the unintended consequences of that shift" (quoted in Shetty). There has been a huge increase in technology accessible to today's youth. Today, as a nation, the question of those who can read or cannot read is no longer a question of those who cannot read but do not want to read. According to Gale Harrington, a ninth-grade English teacher in Solano County, “younger generations are just more focused on social media than most other things,” when asked about the decline of reading of his students (Harrington). Today's youth have access to more technology than any generation before them, and they use it avidly to the detriment of their dynamism and literary abilities. Instead, they will spend hours each day watching TV and movies, playing video games, or even "surfing" the world.
