My kids are all millennials and only the youngest doesn't seem to read anything longer then a twitter post. The middle is an author who literally has read tens of thousands of books.
So why do you think so many millennials have reading issues? Is it the effects of media? Being in front of computers so young? Having to many attention choices from a young age? Generational hyperactivity? What do you think?
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?
@armadillioman great question!
Self training, martial artists train all their lives it’s all they know! If all you know of education is punishment and video games are your training then you will end up with great reaction time and failing eyes (me)just like the ma with arthritis and brain damage(my bro).
Then you could get into conspiracy with the earths frequency changing with the introduction on our man made frequency devices(in your hands), it’s known that frequency has effects on living things so could these issues some have, be relevant to evolution to this new frequency? Just sayin!
