The dawn of the post-literate society; And the end of civilisation by James Marriott.

I was led to believe this article was hard-hitting.  Yet it leans heavily on one- and two-sentence paragraphs in a piece concerned about sustained reading, cites and miscasts an obviously flawed study, and though it includes and OECD report link, it fails to mention one of the drivers in measured declines in literacy and numeracy, for obviously political/ideological reasons.  TL;DR: the sky is falling.
