Why people do not read books ?

Nowadays, people read fewer and fewer books. Fortunately, there are still writers who can intrigue the reader. Many are choosing simpler solution, such as watching a movie, or reading summaries. It is not good ,because people stop thinking and developing. Next reason is that children are not encouraged from an early age. In some families parents do not read their children or read to little or uninteresting items. School shows above all the classics which, in most cases, are difficult, boring and not modern. Especially young people do not want to read ,because they are taking the example of their friends and think that reading is not cool. Another problem is money .Really good books are usually expensive .Not everybody has enough money to afford the expense. Nowadays, we have a lot of modern devices so we are not looking for something more.
