Well, I'm a late millennial I'm 21 so I have the weird in-between stage where I didn't grow up with a phone in my face, but I've always had technology. I think this generation has so many issues reading because of both
A. The desire for instant gratification stemming from always having instant access to all the info we need.
B. The fact we grew up in a world where reading isn't a major past time. People use to read for relaxation and fun, but now kids see it as a chore because it's what they have to do in school.
I believe it's the platform that's the issue. Kids don't get the same joy of turning pages these days. I personally feel accomplished when I've finished a long book and I can shut the back cover with pride. A majority of kids don't find that to be fun anymore, they see it as a task. It's easier to read a two-page article than a book. That's my insight on it at least. @armadilloman

Boom!
Couldn’t say it better, mine is an extension of impatience and reading difficulties but it’s how my mind works.
I can grab data in a scan it comes from mass rpg play and wanting to power through dialog without missing key info and having to back track for hours in game, I got straight A’s in physics but have always struggled with history or anything with dates or places.
So some has to do with self trained behaviour aswell?
