So, Iβm back on the subject of reading habits. Last time I looked at books it was a specific demographic (8-18), and it focused only on books. LETβS OPEN THAT WAY UP!
The below graphic is taken from βStatistaβ and focuses on weekly screen time vs traditional media between 2011-2022 in the US. I cannot verify numbers surveyed or sources, mainly because I canβt afford $200 per month for full access, but those that can please check the link below π

As we can see, somewhere around 2016-2017, we saw a switch between traditional printed material and digital, which has continued to widen ever since, at roughly a steady rate. This is undoubtably due to the technological evolution of the workplace and the use of social media. So that puts that to bed, as Iβm sure many of you agree. Itβs a convenience thing right π
Now, although technology presents us with wonderful opportunities, opening reading up to people with disabilities being the main one I can think of, is this really representative of printed book wormery as a leisurely pursuit (Iβm afraid I canβt find book specific data here)?
My question therefore isβ¦β¦ Does the presence of, and increasing access to technology in the workplace, and everyday life, mean that traditional print reader habits will change to, as a result?
