Yes, I know I know. And it's true that is a complete different approach. I was thinking of the kids here with their mobiles playing all the time without any effort of reading a book sometimes. Solo eso
Some mobile apps are good, some are bad. Some books are good, some are bad. It's not about how much time you spend doing something, it's about being selective in what you decide to consume.
I spend my time on my server because I get a lot of value from it I can't get elsewhere. And I'm opening it up to the world to join me because I want to orange pill the next gen in a radical new way. This might not be for you, but it might be for your kids who get it.

I have a massive library of books I've been collecting since I was a child. My 17 y/o son lives with me, and never reads a book, afaik. Sometimes I think that it's sad, but when I talk to him I know he's just as smart as me. People absorb knowledge in a lot of different ways.
Also, I've heard that zoomers and younger gens tend to actually read more than we ever did, just not in book form. They read quite a bit on their phones and other devices. Dunno if that's true or not, but it makes sense to me.
