Isaac AsimovThe age of the pulp magazine was the last in which youngsters, to get their primitive material, were forced to be literate.
About This Quote
In the age of the pulp magazine, young people had to be literate. In this age of technology, we can choose to stay offline and never read anything. However, we cannot choose not to think. When we do not read, we miss out on important ideas and information.
We can also miss out on our passions and hobbies. The pressures of modern life cause people to lose their ability to think and create for themselves. These people would rather stick with what is safe and comfortable at the cost of any kind of progress.
