Lot of these studies about the problems with reading on screens--including amount absorbed and lack of sleep--need to get through to schools that putting everything on electronic media instead of good old books is a bad idea.Thank you!
Yes, carrying 3-4 textbooks home every night is like lugging a backpack full of bricks, but there has to be some happy medium out there somewhere.
Can't believe I didn't think of that.
(I did think of it where my own kids are concerned. I've been bugging Chris to get off his laptop in the evening, and I've been asking myself whether I have what it takes to pry Andrew* from his.)
Put together the finding that e-readers affect circadian rhythms with the fact that teenagers' circadian rhythms are already delayed ....
Yikes.
* For passersby, Andrew is 20 years old and autistic.
According to an article in Custom thesis writing service, many students prefer reading screens over books. But I prefer reading on books because When reading on a device that has notifications enabled, it’s too easy to click on an email or social media alert. If you’re reading a book, you can concentrate more on your studies.
