Maine governor Angus King made his population stupider
"The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents"
"In 2002, Maine became the first state to implement a statewide laptop program to some grade levels. Then-Governor Angus King saw the program as a way to put the internet at the fingertips of more children, who would be able to immerse themselves in information. "
"Gen Z will now have to face the ramifications of eroding learning capabilities."

being a millennial finally has it's advantage - born before computers were ubiquitous to children - so you actually developed the ability to learn. but also experienced computers at a young enough age to actually learn how to use them well.

We.always had physical books
I hated ebooks for college and preferred to use printed.text books
Especially when you're usually flipping to different sections it's just so much easier with a real book.
If it's a novel you read start to finish then it doesn't really matter and is fine for a kindle
