The average person lacks the attention span to read a page of text.
Reading a good portion of a newspaper? Ha. Those days are over, and they are not coming back for a few generations.
I don't know what the solution is. As recently as 20 years ago, you'd see people reading newspapers or magazines. When was the last time you ever saw anyone read something on paper? Now you have subway trains full of people clicking from one subject to another on their phones... there's no coming back from this.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoHow many of those people were reading every article end-to-end, rather than flipping through from one subject to another? I certainly didn't read newspapers that way, and they don't really seem like they're laid out to accommodate it.
- lurquer 7y agoNot everyone read Time and Newsweek cover to cover back in the day. But, quite a few did. (Especially if they were constipated.)
