Reading = Success





































Visually, the picture says a lot.  If this was first made available, or similar calculations in 1987, what ramifications for the importance of reading might exist today?  Our world now is much different than what it was not 10 years ago with the impact technology has had on everyone.  Are we reading more now, or less?I'm not talking just about reading a book in the form most prevalent in 1987.  Regardless of the year, or your chosen method of "reading," you can't argue with the power that vocabulary provides one to be successful in life.  With a limited vocabulary and therefore limited in experience, you will not be able to make connections nor fully understand and appreciate the world and those ideas around you.
