In the text, the author discusses how teenagers are exposed to fewer longform texts because of digital media. Do you use digital media to read books or news articles? What do you mainly use your digital devices for? Do you think the author's discussion of teenagers' reading habits reflects your own personal experiences reading?

I use digital media to read books due to its simplicity and ease of use. Unlike the print media form that might be bulky, with the digital media, hundreds of books can be stored in it thereby making it more environmentally friendly (due to non-printing of those books out using papers).
