You Illiterate Mofos!

Why the f... you won't read? You lazy mother f.....s! You have time to “tweet your tweeps”, to watch useless vids on YouTube, and dance with your wii but no time to pick up a fricking book! Bullshit!

I want to be a published author someday but because you mofos are so damn lazy, I may only sell five copies.

It's amazing how the more technology we get to aid us, the stupider we get – it's spoon-feeding us, coddling us so we don't have to think. And we don't feel as inclined to intellectually stimulate ourselves.

The internet gives us an overload of information; there's so much crap to look at that we don't read, absorb, and comprehend. We don't analyse what we're looking at. We just skim.

We use our widgets to see top story headlines and that's it.

We read blogs run by Joe Average and take it as fact.

No art, no literature, no thought.

If we continue this way we're going to be the stupidest generation in years and our children will come out even dumber. You know why? Ever heard of aliteracy? Aliterates know how to read but refuse to. These lazy fucks make it through college with cliff notes and purchased essays. And their numbers are growing.

What happens when aliterates have children? Their children don't know how to read at all! Children learn from example (proven psychological fact). What motivates them to learn to read? Not teachers drilling their ABCs but wanting to be like their parents who read everything from novels to newspapers. And what happens when mommy and daddy do nothing culturally enriching beyond updating their Facebook status? NOTHING.

They learn how to read by following instructions on their Game Cube.

They learn how to spell in “txt spk” and can't put a proper sentence together.

Their idea of research is looking up everything on Wikipedia, and never stepping foot in a library.

Ever heard of that low key movie Idiocracy? If not, look it up! It has a hilarious projection of our future where mediocrity rules and stupidity is the majority. Or is that the case already?

If we coddle the mediocre and make it easy for them succeed, how will we encourage excellence?
