I don't want to argue that this functional illiteracy is the fault of the excessive use of social networks (even if this is a certain fact), but users aged between 16 and 29 are certainly well represented in those virtual places. And that should suggest something. Foreigners residing in the Peninsula: do they speak Italian? The article in «Sole 24 Ore» spoke of a “focus on the young population (16-29 years) and on foreigners residing in the Peninsula”.
Do the latter speak Italian? Almost not at all, except for those who are of school age and necessarily have to learn it. Someone might object that not even Italians know how to write and read Italian Phone Number List correctly, why should foreigners do it?, and I would have to agree with them. Adults are not interested in learning our language, because they almost never use it, except when strictly necessary.
How to improve the situation of this functional illiteracy? Every time we talk about "adopting policies that allow us to improve the framework" and strengthening the "training and education system". Words in the wind, because I have never seen any initiative in this sense. The hegemony of social networks over free time and not of the population is strong, very strong. And it won't be easy to break it at all. If you have an hour of free time, you prefer the nothingness of crazy social networks like TikTok or the nonsense of Facebook or exchanging useless messages on WhatsApp rather than reading a book.
