I mean that in a slightly unconventional way because I know someone will come and make a comment about how stupid young people are or how they are not well read in the classics or some such stuff. Instead I'm talking about how much they write and how much they read. I contend that the current generation could very well be the best read and the most prolific writers in human history. Let me explain.
With the internet going main stream millions of kids have grown up frequenting web forums, flaming and debating over a vast array of topics, and even doing internet research to back up their points. I recall that the average kid now spends between 1-2 hours per day on the internet and they can't all just be looking at porn. This very fact adds up to lots and lots of little fingers clicking away on keyboards and reading ****loads of virtual drivel along with the occasional gem. These kids are spending 1-2 hours per day every day reading and writing. Sure, most of it isn't literary masterpieces but it most certainly is something. What do you think?
