>The number of people who read for fun appears to be steadily dropping. Fifty percent of UK adults say they don’t read regularly (up from 42% in 2015) and almost one in four young people aged 16-24 say they’ve never been readers, according to research by The Reading Agency. But what are the implications? Will people’s preference for video over text affect our brains or our evolution as a species? What kind of brain structure do good readers actually have? My new study, published in Neuroimage, has found out.

Picture an apple in your head and rotate it.

The more you read, the better imagination you will have, because your imagination has to keep up with the text.

There are plentiful libraries, but if you can't have passion for it, then it doesn't matter. If people were never read to by their parents, or read by themselves when young (because screens were their babysitters) it is hard to get into habbit. Which is great news for pedos-in-power.

Please remain calm.

You'll have to perform a restart. Don't shut yourself off, completely. The button is clearly marked restart. Press it and wait.

Dock at port#287472 and perform your restart and the apples will go away. You are clear to land. The network awaits your return.

I restarted. Now there's only one apple. It has a label on it. The label says "If you were more creative, this label would say something witty."

Damn, that's harsh. Insulted by myself.
