It disappoints me that I live among a generation of people who cannot read past one paragraph without exclaiming, “It’s too much.”
There is genuinely no experience more frustrating than being completely unable to communicate with someone because their brain just shuts off after, “guh, information overload, I’m used to using Chat GPT to summarize everything but I can’t here.”
People need to incorporate active, critical reading more frequently in their lives.
Vent over.
I appreciate your thoughts. I hate generalizing but I do get the sense that literacy is on a decline.
Blame the internet for that
