Key points
There are so so so so so many different kinds of things we can do with every leisure moment, and the things that involve screens can be pretty compelling. I’m talking about everything from streaming older TV shows to checking out the latest home-release movie, from sophisticated online games to simple puzzle apps, from social media to tablet art programs, from creating original memes to writing a blog!
And some of what lots of people like to do with screens involves reading. Like, social media is often pictures, often text, often both. People keep up with news and opinions by reading online newspapers and learn about their passions by reading material found on websites.
And then there are books. Sometimes it can be nice to get away from screens and curl up with a three-dimensional object, turn the pages, get lost in a story…
If you are a book lover, today’s your day: a great excuse to stay away from screens!
