They inform us, make us think... and question.

Reading has been shown to be good for health and wellbeing. It also improves academic performance, creativity, employability, and democratic participation.

Even so, literacy amongst adults is stagnating or declining in many European countries. Recent studies also show reading for pleasure is in decline.

So, what better day than World Book and Copyright Day to highlight some amazing European literature ➡️https://euprizeliterature.eu/

Yes, of course, we all have stopped reading. Even for news, we wait a brief glance at it to read it! But the irony is that even literature will not be Human, it brings a balance to stopping reading!

On Earth, one day is about 24 hours. And time is going at the speed of 60mn per hour wherever we are.
So these days, people have to choose between facebook (for instance) and books.
Internet is a wonderful piece of technology. Unfortunately, most people do not know how to use it wisely, for the benefit of all.

There'd be nothing better you can do for copyright day than go after the plagiarism machine that is genAI

Well I see still a lot of people here in the Fedi timeline as well as people reading and writing fanfictions. I think mainly "just books" see this trend but not reading in general.

I'd even assume that a lot of people are reading more than ever before in human history.
