Honestly, speed reading needs to be a skill that's taught and developed early on as it would definitely help in todays culture. We have access to thousands upon thousands of articles at our finger tips and with everyone posting their information I can be existing spending 5-10 minutes reading each article only to find that you didn't enjoy the read if for example the article was less than well written. Speed reading allows you to get the gist and credit the original poster and continue moving to other blogs/articles on reddit or steemit that you might find interesting. This makes total sense that people are upvoting or clicking and not reading we just have to much information and not enough education on methods to absorb it without overloading. Great read btw, just my two cents.
