Glad there was a study. No way I’d have ever guessed this.

Does it count that I read on my screens. I go from the phone to the iPad to the kindle and back. 😆

I was one of these people.
Now I read for fun. This is much better.

As per Vonnegut’s Galapagos, maybe humans have started the long evolutionary “race” to transform into creatures with brains of a smaller “more practical” size?

I read on my screen. i have an iPad mini and I use it for reading a lot. So jokes on them.
Also I hate this judgement that being on a “screen” vs holding a physical piece of paper with words on it has. If I’m using my phone to read a news article how is that worse than holding a physical printed version of the NyTimes? If I am at the park reading a book on my tablet is that somehow worse than reading a physical book?
I just like having my reading materials in one place and always on me.

Yeah that’s not surprising. I’m trying to read more. I have to convince my mind to do it. YouTube shorts is so easy to get sucked into and watching shit I don’t even care about. It’s like it hypnotizes you to keep on scrolling for more videos

> Reading with children was also rare, the study found, with only 2% of adults reporting doing so on average every day.
This is the really alarming statistic here. 2%? I knew it wasn’t everyone, but I’d assumed a good number of other parents made the effort to make reading with their kids part of their bedtime or other regular routine.
