The pandemic has shifted our world into the laptop screens and monitors. However its a fact to wonder that was the situation much difficult or closely the same in the past few years ?
The youth has been extremely glued to the screens which has not only created a drastic declining effect in their social networking skills but also their reading habits. According to a survey by Literary Reads that the Readership of Print Magazines have reduced to 30% in the last 5 years. The emergence of Digital Platforms have made youth more attracted to rhe visual versions. This is beacuse the attention span of the youth has decreased over the time as they find it difficult. When a survey was conducted it was shown that Reading was a consoderably time consuming process and thus is not preffered by a lot of people. One of the professors of an eminent college also had to say that a lot of kids have poor vocabulary because they do not read enough.
There are several benefits of reading books like increasing the creative and imaginative abilities. This is because while reading novels and books people have to increase their imagination and work towards the creative mind. The reading thus has a lot of advantages and experts recommend people to read atleast 5 pages regularly.
