2. The author says that the number of people who read for pleasure has droped significantly. The author also says that our attention spans have gotten shorter.
3.The author believs video games and movies have mafe us dumber.
4.When the auther says anti intelectualism he means that america is against getting smarter.
5. General knowlege is slowly going away.
6.The problem is not that people dont know its that they dont want to or think they dont need to know.
7. Some people have a way of desiding what knowlege is imortant and what is just useless. I was talking about the batttle for Midway in world war two and how that was one of the most important battles in world war two. I herd someone say to me “Who Cares”. That has happend to me several times when im talking about important events not nessacerely war realted.
