Young Adults Misconceptions

Children, and especially teens, are known for excessively utilizing cell phones and social media. Technology is far more advanced than it was years ago. Therefore, young adults have easier access to the internet and means of communication. Adults rarely had access to any technology, specifically cell phones, years ago. Being that, adults tend to frown upon today’s generation. Today’s generation is known for reading Facebook instead of reading actual books. Adults feel that teens do not choose their free time wisely. Surprisingly, adults’ misconception may be proven wrong. According to a recent study, young adults read more books than other Americans. The article “Young People Read More Books” is accurate
regarding young people reading more often. Many teens are becoming disinterested in using social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter. Most teens are simply bored while some have a yearning for more knowledge. Therefore, young adults are resorting to reading today. Although many are becoming avid readers, some are barely reading one book a year. The study does not state whether the reading is done for pleasure or is assigned. Schools may be assigning more reading for students. However, many American bookstores and companies are advertising a “young adult” selection. Many become interested in reading a novel after watching the film. This expresses the growth of young readers in America.
