- panny 3mo agoHi author, why didn't you include reading hyper text? I do this most of the day every day. Such as me just reading your blog post.
- eimrine 3mo agoI am interested in the anti-smartphone topic, but you did the best job I have ever seen. Now I understand more about the shift happened to the generation.
- anttonio 3mo agoIm glad you found it useful :) what surprised me the most is that young people used to read the most (now its flipped ofc)
- eimrine 3mo agoI know exactly that if the one used to not read for pleasure, he will never start doing this in adulthood. When I see this disaster and my country Ukraine closes libraries and burn Russian literature I want to cry. I do not believe it is possible to read a book on a smartphone which tends to pop up random notifications at least several times a day.
