Are you a skimmer or a reader?
In the evening, you'll often find me browsing my Instagram Stories in the evening. Bad habit, I know, but it did often inspire my family for field trips and took us to some interesting places.
And only yesterday I stumbled across his post by Peter van Teeseling (@pvantees) who shared the most interesting long read.
I read. And I wonder. Should skim reading be the new normal? And are we truly losing our ability and aptitude at in-depth reading?
This particular paragraph struck me.
Abandon hope all ye who read this on a screen? It's not too late, but it will require some re-educating and awareness raising by all of us.
Ask me, we haven't pursued knowledge this much to get overwhelmed by fake news and irrelevant content.
Meanwhile, I have two unfinished library books waiting on my nightstand, and this one arrived today.
The irony eh?
