corrupting
people's willingness to read and would consequently destroy their imagination.
It's the
same outcry that was heard against that "boob tube" called television as it
became popular
in the mid fifties. And, now comes the computer.
Thus supporting the claim that mass media has been producing a decrease in
reading
frequency and ability over at least the last 80 years.
