Was Harry Potter really all that?

In the last couple of days, an old debate resurfaced about the growing number of people from younger generations (Specifically Alpha) who can’t read a few lines in a row without getting distracted, let alone an entire book.

Harry Potter fans were quick to jump into the discussion, claiming that they used to read entire Harry Potter books in a day or finish the saga in a week, which, in my opinion, is an exaggeration, but aside from that, they express an issue that’s 100% real.

Kids nowadays don’t read and barely keep their faces away from their tablets, pretty much exactly like we do, because we’ve become just as hooked as they are. The only difference is that we had lovely childhoods away from the screens.

I can’t even fathom how much your growing up can be affected by having a super-stimulant interactive screen available at all times; I struggle so many times to leave my phone and read a book, and I end up doing it out of sheer will power, and after that, the only reason I can stay reading for a long time is because I already built the habit long before.

But if you don’t have the habit, and you have a very easy entertainment source to revert to, it’s very difficult to pick it up from scratch.

Anyways, let’s hear what they have to say.
