    Meanwhile, half of them are illiterate. The parents need to get themselves and their children off the internet.

      Do you mean half of the world’s children, or half of the children in your own, unspecified country?

      Literacy in my country is over 80%, which is still too low in my opinion, but fast better than half, thankfully.

      If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.

      some embittered philosopher probably

      “Kids can’t read” is certainly a take. 😂
