Yes, I think that reading plays an important role for younger generations because the information they get from reading, whether from books, social media, magazines, or news, helps them increase their knowledge and lays the foundation for their skills in the future. However, I think they have to be selective about what is useful for their jobs or careers because there is a lot of toxic information and content on social media, and we need to choose what we actually need. In addition, I think that reading is a useful way for teenagers to learn, practice, and use for relaxation.

Also, explore the potential drawbacks of excessive screen time and the importance of balanced media consumption.
