Actually it could be argued that reading itself is the downfall of modern society. It is only in the past 100 years or so that the majority of the general population have been able to read. In short it is ONLY modern society that has been able to read in any great number.
I don't personally think reading has much to do with it. The majority of society has never either been able, or willing, to read.
