"ask the kids, bro."

While conducting a few interviews for my books & print class I noticed a few things:

1. That reading plays different roles in people's lives based on age, and time spent out of college.
2. Some people feel more dedicated to read than others.
3. People are spending WAY to much time online and not enough time unconnected these days.

I found that those who have been out of school for the longest amount of time, dedicate more time to reading, while those who have just recently graduated within the last few years tend to read significantly less. My theory on this is that those right out of college are still burnt out on cramming for tests by reading the whole textbook cover-to-cover the night before (except for me, of course). My second point, that some people feel more inclined to read than others do, comes from the written answers them selves. Those who read novels most and spent less more time unplugged seem to really appreciate the act of reading for pleasure, instead of out of necessity. As I read through the questions I realized, like my interviewees, I too spend way too much time plugged in and online. It was quite eye-opening, and my new goal that came out of this is to UNPLUG more often. xxPM
