Digital technologies have changed different aspects of our lives, and it has been noticed, that children and adolescents have lost their love for reading, preferring to spend free time on watching TV or gaming. Teachers, parents and psychologists are concerned about this trend and they are trying to draw kids' attention to literature. One of the reason why children have lost their interest in books might be a lack of time to read among adults. (I think this is getting off the topic) Modern life has become more stressful and challenging, this had led to an alteration of families' traditions and habits. For example, 20-30 years ago many families would dedicate whole evenings to reading and discussing novels or articles, involving each member in this process.(is this true?!) It helped to form a love for reading and create a skill in debating ideas. Hence, parents should be a role model for their offspring and try to find an opportunity to debate books and authors with children. Secondly, children born in the digital world, are wasting a lot of time using smartphones or laptops. The result of this situation is an excessive amount of information, and young people simply may have no idea about reading opportunities provided by the Internet. However, some lecturers include listening to audio-books or lectures in tuition courses, sharing their knowledge of e-libraries with their students. So, pointing to the right way among the myriad of online-resources could encourage the young generation to read more without the necessity to abandon modern technology. In conclusion, adults play a significant role in parenting (of course!) and instilling positive habits such as reading. Undoubtedly, the modern lifestyle demands adult's permanent concentration, focusing on smartphones and their e-mail apps, e-calendars and a huge entertainment space. However, people should adapt to changes and help children to learn to apply gadgets for personal development.
