Fragmented Reading is Making You More and More Stupid
Read or listen offline
Recommendation
Many people in China and elsewhere try to take advantage of every little scrap of downtime. With the proliferation of the mobile Internet and social media, the number of wemedia channels and paid-content companies in China has exploded, and people subscribe to massive amounts of articles and podcasts to read or listen to when they have a moment of spare time. Feng Xu, a therapist and blogger on the wemedia channel Psychology Open Class, presents his case against “fragmented reading” and prescribes a way to break the habit. Ironically, he is making this appeal to the public using the same medium and writing style that he fervently attacks in his article. Nevertheless, his challenge of the “knowledge consumption trend” that has taken hold of China in the last two years makes his perspective interesting. getAbstract recommends this article to young professionals, procrastinators, people with cellphone addictions and people who want to make better use of their time.
