In U.S. high schools, the age of the book may be fading.
Many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to a reader survey by The New York Times.

Kids Rarely Read Whole Books Anymore. Even in English Class.
When teachers do assign whole books, they often choose from a stagnant list of classics.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted
