Yes, I do think that the amount of time that people spend on technology is affecting the amount of time we read. I feel like people get caught up posting about themselves or watching videos on youtube when they could be spending their time reading. I know for me I don't do nearly as much reading as I should because of technology.

    Yes, I think that technology is affecting the amount of time students are reading. It is sometimes hard to find a good book that you are interested in sometimes.  I think that I do read less because of all the other things that I could be doing like media. I personally think that I spend less and less amounts of time ready as I get older. It might be media or it could be just life in general. 

Do you think technology is affecting the amount of time students spend reading?  Do you read less because you can watch Youtube videos, get on social media sites, or play videogames instead?

I know just myself I do not read enough, this is because I'm easily distracted by reading comments/chats on social media and count that as my reading. It's hard to put the phone down and read when your phone is just a foot away. I believe reading will slowly die which is very sad and audiobooks will become more and more popular in our generation.

Yes, I most certainly agree that technology has taken away from reading. Personally, I know I spend way more time on my phone or watching TV than I do reading. Kids typically turn to technology for entertainment, not books, for a number of reasons. Some just don't like reading, while others get distracted by other things going on in their lives. I try to read the Bible nightly, but I don't read much else very often, unfortunately. It's a matter of priority, and most teens don't have their priorities in the correct order.
