Are you reading or are you fooling?

Time and again we have encountered the problem of reading. Most of us know to read, but we don't. We must accept that reading is an active skill. It takes time. It is useful only when it is done. There is no point saying, I know to read, but I don't. Reading is difficult. It is a practice which needs exercise of will. Even I fall into the drowsiness of continuing to read, yet not reading. My concentration drops.

Many of them will agree that this happens. We must not concentrate on the technique of reading but read as it is. Reading is a complex process which only humans can do. Lately with the advent of videos and audios our reading has dropped. It is only because of keeping the business alive that we are reading. So if anyone asks have you read today's paper? You say yes. Satisfied. Don't you think that Videos and audios do that task well. It is a transition phase, reading will die. We are leaving out reading and gradually accepting other more effective channels which are more realistic and don't require that much concentration.

Reading can be done well, but after a stage there is no point if we don't register what we read. This problem is for medical science to tackle.
