@ourhumanfam @TheConversationUS @BigAngBlack @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon Careful. Trump will use this to prove slavery benefitted them. Or Halley might ask what a slave is

Oh, I so love it when one of my (often exercised prejudices) is offered some validation by research... this time its the boost in comprehension a reader gets from reading on paper rather than via a screen.

For years this is what I told my students (based on my own experience), to be often told it was an age thing... well looks like I was right. Hurrah!

[No doubt this will re-open the e-book vs. paper book debates in my timeline, but so be it]

@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon I rend to read ebooks as no more space for paper but notice that I often use the search function when encountering a character I can't remember being included before

This week we've got a series of updates for you after being hard at work...

First up is some research we've carried out to help us get the most out of low-powered TV platforms - which we hope will make it easier for us to create high quality user interfaces for our services:
