The Decline of Book's
I'll just say it Ray Bradbury is a fucking psychic if you don't know who he is he is the author of Fahrenheit 451. In 451 the society is in the future books and been outlawed and burned everyone just wants to watch tv and listen to music even in the book it talked about tv screens that take up a whole wall and little headphones that fits inside your ears. The funny thing about this is the book was written in the 50's and now were in the future and we walk around with headphones in our ears watching tv on our phones and have 90 inch LCD tv's on our living room walls. Turns out Bradbury's future is coming true sad thing is kids these days will never appreciate a good book they will just wait for the movie to come out and never enjoy the book in which the movie is based on. Now I have done that too but in my defense the Harry Potter Books were getting so fucking long and as a guy with A.D.D I couldn't stand it so opted out and waited for the movies. Now I know what your thinking you are a hypocrite you did something that you were criticizing and your right but I believe it's ok to watch the movie but you should read the book before you see the movie also I believe that of you seriously can't read because you have ADD or ADHD then it's fine to never read the books. Also movies based on books should be used as a tool for people who never read the books because most times the books better. I started to write this after I found an article of how scholastics is offering a tablet version of books and that's ok I guess but I think that children should be taught the importance of reading an actual book enjoy the benefits of reading not just reading off a screen. I knew the decline of reading was going to happen when PBS canceled Reading Rainbow the one show that taught kids it's awesome to read. Butterfly in the sky I can fly twice as high take a look its in a book Reading Rainbow... Sorry I can't resist singing that song. Now for a 2012 updated version... Butterfly in the sky I can fly twice as high take a look its in a NOOK Reading Rainbow...sad I know. By the way HUGO is Fucking awesome go see it then read the book or better yet read the book then see the movie either way both are fucking awesome.
