Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    I think this because of doomsday scrolling on our smartphones, we have ruined our ability to focus and concentrate.

      We keep getting shorter and shorter materials (looking at you, 15-second shorts/stories) so our attention span adapted.
