[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Screens and no one reading anymore. Kids and adults can't pay attention for longer than 20 minutes. Look at modern movies and how they move as opposed to older ones. You need to concentrate for some time to get the math and read complex prose. And then draw some conclusions after thinking and not have it distilled for you in a 140 letter tweet or a short video. [/quote] Yes. In our screen-filled, dopamine pushing country, even adults can't stand being bored or alone with their thoughts for a minute. The typical adult isn't even reading 1 book a year.[/quote]
