GenX here... I thought this was a great read. I still hope for a young rebellion against the forces the presented in the article. And the author does point out some reasons to hope.

Personally, I read and write every day. I usually have 2-3 books I'm going through at any one time.

I've noticed that on long-haul flights, the movies typically hold no interest and I just read for hours—what a luxury to have nothing else to do!

We gave away our TV. The shows were just less compelling, we found. We don't miss it.

I feel like we tried to catch the wave, and almost did, but we were unable. It rolled out from under us and now we're floating once again in the calm sea beyond.

I have Moonreader installed on my phone, so I can reach for a book any time. This morning I was hypothesizing that since I use my phone for reading books, I'm fooling my brain into that association and maybe that's helpful in consuming long-form content online...?

I also read paper books, a Kobo, my computer, and an Xteink x4. Really anything, I guess!

That hardest part is knowing that more has been written than I will ever have time to enjoy.

No offense, but this comes off as incredibly smug... Glad you're able to find the time to read and write every day, but not not everyone has that luxury.
