Horrific to see another business model get put on rails resulting in a lowering of quality. Reminds me of MSN firing their news team and having AI journalists write all the articles. Now you get large walls of text with no overall message that often times are devoid of any conclusions.
Seems there is a psychological effect at play. I imagine a social ritual of standing and reading something that is always in-focus requiring no scrolling is far more appealing.
Scanning in that fashion is also far faster, more comfortable and efficient.
I used to flip through newspapers rather quickly scanning the headlines and first paragraph and reading more interesting articles in depth. Scanning this way is almost impossible digitally. Also headlines were more useful and articles actually had informative first paragraph instead of just "scroll some more" hooks.
I find that many of the magazines on Apple News+ have innovative navigation techniques that allow me to scan quickly. The throughput is high enough not to be laggy.
It is pretty possible digitally, at least I haven't had much problems doing it with PDFs on good fast reader.
Just not in the web way where going further almost always incurs some load time so it is impossible to skim, and it always wants to shove ad in-between
I can't quite pin words on it, but just intuitively it feels like there is less barrier to reading and more of a break from studying when the newspapers are printed and sitting there than when you have to swipe on a screen.
You mean not prioritizing the at-risk demographics, or projecting the economic consequences of printing Trillions, or using the populace as a test case for subsidized drugs is not a coherent response strategy?
Except it isn't something with a low barrier of entry means of person to person exchanges of value for transactions... The whole point behind crypto currency.
How would we perceive such lateral
changes? What would we experience? What clues -- if we are trying to test out this bizarre
theory -- should we be on the alert for?
Ah yes, Douglas swinging that Mandella Effect broadsword before it was ever forged. How appropriate!
I reworked many of their xeon server mobos and several of their switches fixing these issues, still prevalent with tech more than ever. And especially so with flat screens that "just stopped working"
