Many young people today can't comprehend a story unless it's broken down into small texts, like a child book, twitter, or any other chat app. As this is their only exposure to text. If you are a parent, force your kids to read books!
- kristianc 9y agoHave you got data to support that?
- nopassion 9y agoWell, I posted a Medium article at work that would take 55 minutes to read and a millennial corowker balked at how long that was.
