[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Atlantic article is scary. I'm guessing a lot of this is due to the short attention span brought on by cellphones and social media.[/quote] My kids have screens and phones, and one is a CS major, they built their PCs, and they have read and continue to read tons of literature, go to plays and musicals, create art, etc. etc. People just make excuses. Your phone and computer don't prevent you from reading a book.[/quote] DP. They don’t directly, but as an adult I can say with 100% certainty that my relationship with my phone has absolutely affected my attention span and my ability to focus on long, dense reading material. Perhaps not all people are affected in the same way or to the same degree, but come on. [/quote]
