The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

>> No.14440246

most of the internet is fucking stupid. i know where to get the materials i want (/lit/ for social interaction, youtube for music discovery/downloads, bookz, etc.) and otherwise it's almost worthless. i don't know why people get into bullshit vids on youtube or bloggers or social media or other crap, it's all a slog of sewage.

Read epubs on your phone. Switch between 3 or 4 books, reading 10 pages of each at a time. It works for me.
I’ve read over 60 books this year. Still a screen addict but a wiser one.
