Young people these days don’t read; Magazines or otherwise.
If it cannot be spoon fed via video, they are not interested.

Their attention span is about 2 minutes. After that, it’s on to the next website.

I see them in restaurants, groups of them, ALL STARING INTO THEIR PHONES LIKE GOOD LITTLE ZOMBIES. Not talking to each other or having any meaningful repartee, except via TEXT MESSAGE, which is chock full of misspelled words, acronyms and internet shorthand that is as meaningless as an intercepted Enigma message before the code was cracked....................

All true, but it doesn't stop these social media and iphone addicts from thinking themselves morally and intellectually superior to people who are a couple of decades older. After all, as good "progressives," they're the foot soldiers for trendy causes like transgender bathrooms and gender-neutral language like "Latinx", unlike us troglodytes \s
