Frazz: What happened? Mr. Spaetzle: Oh, I got absorbed in my phone. One of those brain-training apps. Frazz: An effective one, I see. Mr. Spaetzle: I'm a little smarter than I was two minutes ago.
I read while I walk, have done that ever since I learned to read, it’s great when you go out for a long walk and don’t want to be bored to death. People used to laugh at me. Now they are begging me for lessons so they can walk and look at their phone without stumbling over and walking into every obstacle.
Evolution in action.The next couple of generations that can learn to pay attention to two things at once, therefore avoiding an early death, will pass their genes on.
“If you’ve never banged your shin on a fire hydrant or said ‘Excuse me’ to a parking meter, you’re wasting valuable reading time.” (I wish I knew who originated that quote.)
