Really interesting article on the various ways smartphones and social media are rapidly reversing the benefits achieved by centuries of literature.
It goes some way to explain the rise of extreme, polarising politics and populist leaders such as the Mad Orange Shitbag in the White House, and provides a frightening glimpse of where we’re headed as a society as we continue to dumb down.
TL;dr – smartphones are bad, books are good. Now get off this blog and down the bookshop or library!
