night night bitch: esoteric stories for sleep and meditation
Religion & Spirituality:Spirituality
We all know about our declining attention spans due to social media. That’s nothing new. However, we’re beginning to see the profound impact of digital technology on something called “deep reading”, critical thinking, and societal discourse at large.
Together, we’ll delve into an article that examines the transformation of reading habits, exploring the concept of "deep literacy" as a cognitive process that nurtures abstract thought, empathy, and creativity. Through our exploration, you’ll better understand the historical significance of deep literacy's role in shaping modernity and individual agency, and how the rise of digital devices challenges this essential cognitive skill.
From the addictive nature of technology to the erosion of attention spans, we reflect on the consequences for personal reflection, creativity, and empathy. Join me on a journey through the evolution of reading and its implications for our capacity to engage deeply with ideas and one another.
