The article by Matt McFarland tells us that less people are reading books because we are too busy and new technology has received much more of our attention. Being an avid reader, I want to disagree and say that every day I see people siting and enjoying a book, but frankly, I can count the number of people I know who have read a book in the past month on one hand.
The invention Spritz was created to help people read faster and to be more focused while reading. Spritz rapidly flashes words on a screen in the exact same spot to provide the best comprehension and attention.
This could potentially change the way people read; however, I would not use it. Some may call me old fashioned but the only way I read is with a actual paper-filled book in my hands.
