<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2722552, member: 83738&quot;]The only statistics I have been able to find to support an argument that literacy is truly in decline in the United States are comparing our <i>functional</i> literacy to that of up and rising nations like India and China.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe for a second literacy is in decline in America.&nbsp; My generation, on average, is far more educated than that of my father&#039;s.&nbsp; If we go back to my grandfather&#039;s generation, many didn&#039;t receive much of an education at all.&nbsp; I would, in fact, say that the Internet forces persons to become more literate since so much of it is text-based.&nbsp; I think this argument was a valid concern 20 years ago, but is a fairly moot point now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
