My fears of the future

The fact that less and less people are reading newspapers is actually really sad. I suppose it does not make too much of a difference as long as people get their news and information somehow. The thing that bothers me is the fact that reading used to be something that was enjoyable to many people. I'm afraid that as time goes on, and more and more newspapers become completely digital, less and less people will read. Sooner or later, no one will be reading. I think that print should stick around, and that people should be forced to get their news that way. I mean it might help with illiteracy. What also scares me is that, best selling novels are not even selling as much as they used to. I just hope that the love of the art and beauty of the written word never dies.
