Less Comprehension

While the reading of paper books declines, the reading of e-books is skyrocketing. Except for when people are playing Candy Crush or Word With Friends. Since this is just the beginning of the ebook era, people still do not know what types of effects the digital content has on the mind versus the paper versions of the books or textbooks. There is plenty of application development to enhance the learning and understand experience but it seems that people did just fine with paper books and highlighters. There was a recent study done that showed how comprehension goes down when things are read on a screen. Here are some things that you can do to help that. Material you'll need to really know, like school work, office work, fantasy football statistics, etc, stick to reading these things on actual paper. And if you read material on your phone that you're really going to need to know, slow down, pay extra attention & stop driving. Even better? Read the material twice.
