Asking 18-24 year olds to make lifetime statements is not the same as asking a 40-50 year old person. One group has no concept yet and the other is starting to regret wasting it.
Everyone should zoom into this image on your own because it is just absolutely amazing! I don’t care politically either way, but I’m sure/hopeful NASA’s presentation tomorrow will actually do a better job of showing just how important these visual discoveries really are.
I keep a pen in hand and I write in my books as I’m reading. Underlining, bracketing, or rewording parts I find interesting. That seems to help provide a pseudo feedback loop for me. Of course that makes them pretty much untradeable afterwards.
It's sounds silly, but the way I've broken the phone addiction is with a watch. I've got it paired as a family member through my wife's phone, and it has a cell plan so the only phone number I have is through the watch. My work requires me to have a mobile "phone" and I get a stipend for having the service, so I'm required to have something. This serves that purpose, but for my mental health, the mindless scrolling and surfing are gone because the apps on this thing are too small for my middle age eyes to bother with. And with work internet access being restricted, I've pretty much broken the smartphone habit. Yes feels like an expensive way to break a habit. I agree, but all things factored in, it meets every requirement and gives me a lot of hours back in the day for what you mentioned: reading, exercising, study.
I definitely read this like the two of you. If the information being shown by Google results is what I need, there isn't a need to click further. On top of that, many of us have been "trained" that products like ZScaler are going to block most sites and register a hit with InfoSec. I'm not going to click on bobsfunmainframefacts.com if Google scraped the needed info for me.
