Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

        You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

    I think it has something to do with everything trying to get your attention, and waste your time for metrics.

    We ignore signs because we don’t want to read another popup.

    We skim text because we don’t want to know about your life story, just the chili recipe, thanks.

    We skip or misread instructions because we’ve been doing the job for years, and we’re halfway on autopilot.

    We can’t find a restaurant or shop right in front of us because we’re starting to learn to ignore bright colors and flashing lights.

    We browse the internet while watching a movie because we’ve seen the same cliche Marvel movie before.

    The problem is that sometimes we get so used to these things that we also do it when we shouldn’t be.
