Member-only story
Last time I checked, I did not suffer from dementia. I can clearly list the insights I had from the book I’m reading now, but I remember nothing from the fifty something articles I read today on the internet. I can vaguely remember their titles though. One was “How the most successful people do something in the morning”, the other was “7 ways to be successful at something”, it was about making money I think. The rest were combinations of how-tos, lists, and general advices about life, business, and computer science.
But why the heck don’t I remember anything from them?
It’s probably because I just skimmed through them, and never actually read any of their content. The internet has taught us to skim. You already know that, right? We also know that skimming is rewiring our brains. We are spoon-fed more content than we can consume. It’s like an all-you-can-eat restaurant. You want to taste everything before deciding what to indulge…
