Back in 2005 I spent 2 years where I'd walk for an hour each day to the city centre. There I'd go to the book store. I read so many books, from every different section.

Eventually, I started to notice that nearly all the books seemed to essentially be repeating every other book. I stopped reading.

Today I get occasionally read books, but honestly I feel like 95% of book material is just filler.

I get far more from reading websites like this one.

I challenge the notion that reading books is something that leads to smart and well educated people. I just don't think that's true.

What I think it is that leads to that, is curiosity.

Phones take curiosity and run it into overdrive and born out. That's the issue with them for me at least.
