I don’t necessarily agree or disagree with what Jacoby is saying. I do think that Americans are spending too much time and money on video entertainment rather than extending their knowledge by reading a book. I think that the reason this is occurring is because reading is not always as enjoyable as watching a movie of television. And to what she said about Americans being proud of their lack of intelligence, I completely disagree. Today in America, job opportunities are taken by the more qualified, most likely more intelligent person. Although there may be some people who are proud of their lack of intelligence it is  unfair to label an entire country as proud of being dumb.
