Let's Go To The Videotape!

There use to be all these commercials for RIF ( Reading is Fundamental) the nation's largest children's literacy organization. At this point I'm almost sure that reading a book may go the way of the dinosaur. It seems like there are more and more videos every day and less use for reading. I go to a news web site to read a story and I can't, I have to watch a video. And most annoying is the 30 second advertisement prior to the story I am forced to watch. Eventually, there will be no need to read as we will be able to watch videos of everything. Reading will be another lost skill like the art of writing cursive.
