Is MTV becomeing the cultural outlet for todays kids?

Is the next generation of kids not going to know that Romeo and Juliet was a play and not something Leo stared in?

Will kids not be able to make a distinction between Bach and Puff Daddy?

My thoughts: I think that reading is being replaced by the less time consuming TV and kids of the next generation and their kids are going to stop putting an importance on learning plays and going to see theater and put more importance on who Britney (or whatever pop legend is available) is dateing or who the cutest member of some teen drama is.
