The study found that young people are not reading books as much as they did before. They prefer to spend time on other activities, such as surfing the internet. In fact, the number of young people who said they enjoy reading books fell by almost 50 percent between 2007 and 2017.
 

According to the study, young people today are reading less compared to the past, with a significant drop in the number of those who enjoy reading books. The study indicated that they prefer spending time on other activities like playing computer games and surfing the internet. Between 2007 and 2017, there was a 50% decrease in young people who said they like to read books. This trend has raised concerns among some individuals who worry that the decline in book reading may lead to weaker reading and writing skills for young people in the future. However, others believe that the internet can be a valuable resource for finding new information and improving reading skills, as well as enabling young people to teach themselves new information.
