There are some reasons of increasing illiteracy in developed countries. Firstly, people who live in these countries are become lazy more than the past. The advances in technology cause people do not try hard any more. All information that people need is found in the Internet, so they do not need to research and examination data.
Secondly, our children prefer play computer's games and have more fun instead of studying their courses. Today, go to university in some places not valuable as the past. In addition, people prefer to earn more money to have more education. Finally, because of immigration, people in these countries do not have to have high education to improve situation of economic or industry in their countries. New labors do it for them.
