We once read a book called "Feed" in high school - a ham fisted anti-capitalist book. Wherein citizens are 100% connected to an internet like service that only exists to sell them products. 90% of the class couldnt get it. Even when the teacher sat down and explained the entire plot of the book they still couldnt wrap their head around it.
Are we including all the senior citizens who refuse to bring their reading glasses when they go to the supermarket?
No, the elderly people I worked with both couldn't see well and also never learned how to read. It's even more depressing than how I describe it.
