Good for you, I happen to be part of the millennial generation that can’t seem to be able to focus enough to read more than an article. That includes me.
You just haven't found the right kind of books/articles. There is something for everyone's taste. I agree us millennials need our info fast though, we lose interest quite quickly it seems.
That’s what I like about crypto, I can absorb the data and discard the rest. I think I might be more a writer then a reader and I never knew it till I found steemit, just having a hard time being satisfied with the resulting article.
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!

Hello!! We share that hobbie..I love reading too! And now I have discovered the audiobooks, but nothing like a good book I enjoy until I turn the pages!
which books?
Ah! I love reading also. Series are my favorites as well because it's so easy to get lost in them. I just got done re-reading 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' It's one of my favorites.
I would make sure i read that!
Hmmm me too. Not the making clothes (I make accessories of sorts. But reading novels in series I particularly like really stupidly long science fiction series like James S.A. Correy's Expanse books (which I think are up to eight).
So yeah, what novels, what series, what authors. Spill it!
What kind of accessories do you make? I am currently reading the house of night series by P.C Cast.
I am a leather craftsman artist. Or arty craftsman. Or crafty artist. Hop on over to my blog where I have some galleries of some of my stuff. Or just hop on over to say Hi!
I have read few books of house night series. It's quite interesting actually.
I was like, ohhh @cheetah commented here! Then, as I look closely its @cheekah... It sounds like chika... In the Philippines, chika is a slang word meaning "conversation/dialogue". I like your username... because for me it sounds very inviting to conversations and dialogues.
I hope we will have more cheekas over your books and dressmaking.
Lol...you are not the first to comment on the similarity of my name to cheetah. My name is chika and i am a Nigerian. Chika in my language means God is great. I hope we would have more cheekas too.
Wow. What a beautiful name it is.! Because God is truly great!
Lol...you are not the first to comment on the similarity of my name to cheetah. My name is chika and i am a Nigerian. Chika in my language means God is great. I hope we would have more cheekas too.
@christianyocte maybe with here we could learn the native of your country if you follow up the conversation with a language class....
at least now I know the word for conversation in your native language
I love reading novels. When i was in college, i used to hide novels in my course books and pretended to study in class while my eyes were on thrilling chapter of some novel. XD
I did that too.
lol... this is amazing..... i for one would have wished to love novels the way you do but am afraid I dont
Hi @cheekah! Thank you for participating and sharing a bit about yourself! How cool that you make your own clothing. It’s not very common to hear that it anymore. Are you reading any good series right now? :-) I am always looking for a good book as well!
I am currently reading P.C Cast's house of night series. Thanks for the compliment.
@coruscate
I am yet to see a party like this on steemit
I have never been excited to be on steemit like I am now.
Not be cause of the contest but the relations and the relationship been built
I wish to suggest:
Why not you @coruscate start up a tribe or a nation on steemit
where we can party like this for long and you know forever is long
it might turn out to help people met more people
knowing steemit is all about people... people... people
what do you think?
Great idea! I like the sound of having a place where we could have this kind of great engagement/conversation everyday, but I’m not sure what that would look like.
Hmmm........ okay I see
I perceive it would look like heaven on earth
lets say something like a group with a discord channel
a telegram group (depending on your choice) where the post link is published and
one is directed through link to the party venue on steemit or
developing of a tag on steemit preferably................
you can call it anything
something like #coruscaterelatives
where you could make a post on a topic
that allows the conversation tread
to follow massively like its doing now.
it doesnt have to be a contest (if it is fine and square)
knowing people like to talk themselves new to relationships
the party becomes naturally supernatural
it just continues till it hits cloud nine
What do you think?
