One thing I do with my students is show them how to adjust text size and have them try out larger sizes. I think a surprisingly large number of people have never even attempted to change the text size on their devices and many can benefit from something different than the defaults.

I sort of discovered this accidentally twice.

First was when I go the Kindle I realized I could make the text as big as I wanted so I would do that, as stated before.

Another time is when I wanted an external monitor and I bought a big TV because it was much cheaper. Because the TV was bigger the text was also bigger, and I realized how much easier it was for me to work.

I think I used to feel like there was a "coolness" factor to keeping the text small. I don't know why I thought that, but I think what's much cooler than having lots of small text is actually being able to read and understand the text on the screen.

Now I have no desire to impress anyone, and I keep my text in the browser at like 200%.

Even on computer monitors, I always bump the scaling to 125% on modern high resolution screens.

150% gang here. Actually 200% on my laptop but the resolution of that display is just ridiculous.

I tell everyone to set it to what you find comfortable and then adjust it up a notch.
