How many devices do you use in a single day to access news, books, or learning materials?

From Upside Learning, a platform devoted to provide custom e-learning solutions, comes an interesting infographic that lets us take a closer look at the evolution of learning.

The visual is based, among others, on a study “The New Multi-screen World” conducted by Google a few years ago.

According to a study, 90% of respondents were using multiple screens sequentially to accomplish a single task over time. As much as 98% users were moving between devices in a day to complete a task.

Using multiple devices is a way to learn more effectively, get more motivated, and significantly improve knowledge retention.

Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World

by CAL NEWPORT

I remember when I first encountered Facebook: It was the spring of 2004; I was a senior in college and began to notice an increasing number of my friends talk about a website called thefacebook.com. The first person to show me an actual Facebook profile was Julie, who was then my girlfriend, and now my wife.

“My memory of it was that it was a novelty,” she told me recently. “It had been sold to us as a virtual version of our printed freshman directory, something we could use to look up the boyfriends or girlfriends of people we knew.”

The key word in this memory is novelty. Facebook didn’t arrive in our world with a promise to radically transform the rhythms of our social and civic lives; it was just one diversion among many. In the spring of 2004, the people I knew who signed up for thefacebook.com were almost certainly spending significantly more time playing Snood (a Tetris-style puzzle game that was inexplicably popular) than they were tweaking their profiles or poking their virtual friends.

Amazon calls the 2026 Kindle family a complete redesign, but peel back the marketing gloss and you find higher prices for what are essentially fresh colour coats and thinner bezels. Unless you count a $35 remote clicker as a revolution, your older e-reader remains perfectly fine.
Why e-readers belong in your screen-free zone

Banning an e-reader from your bedroom makes as little sense as throwing out a digital alarm clock. Screen-free rules exist to eliminate predatory feeds and blue light – not to outlaw books. An e-paper reader is not a distraction engine; it is a quiet, reflective sanctuary for your attention.
