    This does make me think. I remember the days where I would turn up at the library to read books. With my phone, I can read and learn but instead I doom scroll.

      I combine the two. I doomscroll looking for things to read and learn about, which enhances the doom significantly!

          Ah a mistake. The thing is that in the 50s it was believed that earth wouldn’t be able to feed more than 1 or 2 billions people. They didn’t imagine a city dozen million people either.

      I find I’m involved in a combination of doom scrolling and reading through my digital books. They’re not academic in nature but they bring me joy… I also leverage my device for googling the answer to any one of the thousand questions my offspring will ask daily.
