Ask HN: What could possibly happen so people would want to read more?
jstummbillig Sunday, November 16, 2025We now have IG/TikTok/YT Shorts. First it was mails instead of letter, text/fb instead of mails, then images, then videos, now shorter videos. We might also fill in for the other senses, not sure, but then that's the end of the line.
There is no reason to assume that things will change direction, unless there is some force that makes it so. I am trying to think of a scenario where people would do more of something archaic like reading in the future, than they do now.
What could that be? I can't come up with anything. Does it matter? Can we be fine without reading?
