Yeah, but nobody is going to care about what Kanye West was having for lunch yesterday in fifty years time.
Much like we don't care for the majority of the trivia that would have encompassed the daily lives of most people in the distant past.

When he said people are reading more he probably meant it historically, the world has never been more literate.
Shit, Aristotle and Plato would probably jizz like bitches if they realized how many books even the lay person has access to in the current decade.
With that access more people have started reading, compared to the number who were say, 50, 100 years ago.
Yes, your friends don't read, a minority of the population reads but this minority is larger than ever before (although still a minority).

You just hear/see more about people reading twitter posts because it makes it into the news and gets reposted on social media sites. Plenty of people still read, and so plenty people still write books.
