A few days ago, I watched the TV program "Expanding Zero-reading. What happens in Japanese" in NHK docutainment.
In conclusion, it was an ordinal story "No reading, no logical thinking".
"Dumb"
I changed the TV channel soon.
-----
Man:" I haven't read a book for one year"
Woman: "One book each for three years"
I think that their phrases are true, and it is also right that the reason is to be using smart phones.
I am a person who robs them of their reading time (and writing this diary).
The other day, I wrote that reading is a kind of entertainment, so it is natural that they lose the time to read.

What I was annoyed that the program tried to lead a conclusion "No reading, no logical thinking".
To tell you the truth,
Many people cannot think something logically, even if they read a lot of book.
The program tried an experiment that dividing students who read frequently from students who don't read firstly, make both students write a report. Finally, the program concluded "Students who often read books can make a local report".
I am very sorry that there is absolutely no relationship between logical-thinking/reporting and reading habit.
"Being logical" is going to realize by the logical-thinking and technical writing trainings and the strong intention to think logically.
If you think that you make you a logical person by reading books only, I am going to thunder out
"Don't be spoiled!"
