Story about collective power
Data from Gallup and the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that Americans are reading fewer books and spending less time reading than ever.
There's been reporting on college kids struggling to finish longer texts. And last month, in a viral post, one user lamented their loss of concentration for reading, which led to a larger online discourse about how to approach books again.
Frictionless everything is another manifestation of the tyranny of convenience.
Convenience becomes more appealing as the bigger stuff in life (career, health, etc) become harder. That’s why it is an inverted function…the more difficult the big things are, the more appealing convenience and frictionless in everything else becomes.
