I may have not phrased my statement correctly either. I did not mean to imply 
that kids would not learn to read, but only that they would not have to. I 
think in the near future they will be taught to read by computer without 
actually having to learn to read. The learn to visually read signs at a very 
early age, and I think with the help of computers with voice capabilities, 
the need for a Reading class will be a thing of the past. Hopefully with it 
will go phonics and basal readers.
