American the Illiterate?

As I read the article I found it harder and harder to disagree with these ideas because he was even coming up with statistical facts that helped to back his ideas. And it was clear that it had to be true that many more people were becoming illiterate, but then I began to think of other things that would also cause this problem. The national population will always continue to rise to which gives people giving that want to show increasing statistics about population a big advantage. Also this would cause a chain reaction possibly to not having enough resources for the entire population, which would inflate prices and send people into a higher poverty level. This is again was ironic because I was reading possible reading something that the text was warning me not to read. This text was not written at the highest reading level that I have read lately and was very short in length. It was also possible giving me false information just so I would believe it. But I am not surprised by this because the text would probably have a target audience of who he is talking about, the illiterate, so he sets his writing up to suck the illiterate into believing his ideas.

This would also support my next ide that many literate people may disagree with his ideas of why America is becoming illiterate. I would argue that first and foremost that humans are evolving and it is better we try to evolve as fast as possible to help keep up with exponential increase in the worlds population, to make sure we can evolve at an equal to keep up. Stay where we are wont help to move forward for the much more populated generations that may come after us, otherwise we would have to find away to lower population rates. Another reason could be that this generation is lazier and have a shorter attention span for learning. The educated and literate would fend that if they were able to do it then so should everybody else. The idea may be to far the other way so we must find a medium to help balance out equal opportunity for the growing population. And if the ideas work but take to much commitment from a possibly increasingly lazy generation then it is our own fault.
