Words are becoming less important for the lower classes and a distinct difference in eating has arisen. For example, when you walk into a higher end restaurant and sit down to read the menu, you see text, juicy descriptive text. One must read about 350 words in order to make a choice of what they want to eat. When another person enters a fast-food joint, they walk up to the menu on the wall and look at the pictures of what they are supposed to get. There are barely any words and little to no thought goes into the choice he is about to make. When ordering, the person doesn't even have to say what meal they are getting because the phrase, "#3" will suffice. Why is this so? Maybe society is becoming lazy. The higher end restaurants have flowing descriptions because they cater to people who have probably gone to more school and have the knowledge to actually read while fast food places serve people who might not have gone to school at all. Fast food places also employ people who might not be in the best schooling situation. It is just easier to persuade someone to buy a meal using a picture rather than to make them read about what they could be getting. The media today realized this and started creating commercials with flashy colors and bold short words to captivate their lazy audience. Society is becoming so lazy.
