Competing studies suggest that millennials may be reading more or fewer books than their older counterparts, but no matter what your choice of literature, we’re reading much more text at a glance than we ever have, in our cars, on our phones and on our wearable technology.
A new study from the MIT AgeLab suggests that font type, size and color all play a critical role in how easily we can understand that text. It also notes that our degrading ability to decipher that text happens at a much younger age than we thought.
