In this blog, we will discuss not only my taste and likings related to reading but we will also discuss the future of reading. With the advancement of technology, a lot of things will change and reading is one of them.

### MEMORIZATION:

I personally believe there is a connection between how we read and memorize. I can't say about all but I memorize faster when the content is written in my own writing. There had between multiple occasions when I write online available slides in my writing just for faster learning. I believe the more senses involved in writing the better. So my pen, touch, and eyes all remember it, and when I am in any competitive exam, the visions I get in my own writing make me easier to recall what I learned compared to any online slides.

### MODE OF WRITTEN CONTENT I PREFER:

Some might argue softcopy of content is better than a hardcopy of content but mine is different than both. I listen to novels and books. Yes, I don't read much but I listen. 

I will now show you my youtube downloads:

And many more......

I usually complete books by playing audio versions while walking or exercising as it's better than listening to songs for me. The above list you see is just some of my travel listening material as while travel, I don't complete full books but prefer summaries. "Adab Saraye" is a URDU language utube channel with a lot of audiobooks available in urdu and I completed "power of subconscious mind" from this channel. I don't prefer urdu in reading and English is my preference but I share these with my family so, especially with my dad urdu content is good for both of us.

My taste is mostly in the 1900s and 2000s is not much interesting to me in terms of reading. Think and grow rich, and The intelligent investor is among my top picks. I completed these books 5+ times just walking in the park and listening to them.

#### READING FEATURE:

Many people don't know or don't use but I also prefer READ OUT LOUD feature. This feature is available in word, pdf, or even in browser extensions. I prefer AI to read for me other then me reading something. Also, I do use read out loud alot as sometimes I work for 22+ hours and continuous usage is bad for mental health so I try my best to avoid the UV lights I can.

Although on Hive I usually read posts cause when someone do grammatical errors or slang it's easier in reading than to listen. As long as the blog is not professionally written, I manually read than listening.

### FUTURE SCOPE:

I believe currently screens are mostly everywhere and continuous use is harming our eyesight and might have an effect on our brains too. I myself also use eyesight glasses. I believe that in the future we will see either laser surgery being cheaper or our bodies will mutate with this continuous usage. The mutation is just like how germs get stronger or white blood cells enhance their resistance. 

In the future, if we mutate to have no side effects of screens/UV rays then I can predict a change towards less usage of physical books but as long as our bodies and technologies evolve, we will continue to see physical books or even audio being preferred by some people.

## CLOSING THOUGHTS:

I appreciated free public libraries and barber shops having newspapers in my country. I also saw Finland and other countries and compared them with my country on reading habits, and I got a little demotivated about reading and writing in my region. But on the other hand with technologies like HIVE, I do believe it will not only help us in finance but also build good habits and help in becoming a better human being. Free education and content we consume will become better and better with technological advancement.
