you are not wrong or outdated

different people prefer different methods of learning

they may or may not be more effective -- just that they are more preferred -- even if for no other reason than ease

sitting down with a page of text and focusing on it to learn new information is becoming harder and harder for me personally ...with the bad habits of constant smartphone and social media use

I fall back to have someone do the reading and explain it to me

videos let us pause / rewind / skip / slowdown as needed ..so I am noticing that I am depending on his control also and sometimes zoning out of videos too ...

...which sometimes bites me when I am watching a live stream that has no rewind or worse ..attending a real meeting and hear someone explain something at length

But video controls are tremendously worse than just being able to focus your eyes at any specific portion of the page in an instant ?
