I think I'm unusual in being a bookworm. I know a lot of younger educated people who don't read books and think it's unusual when I'm reading an ebook. I do find, when looking for info as well as entertainment, that I watch a lot of Youtube videos during this pandemic. (I try to stay clear of political videos, as I don't want "the algorithm" to rewrite reality for me.) I find I absorb info better when reading, and I can read much faster than people can talk (most of the time). I know many tech-illiterate people, who don't like reading, who nonetheless watch a lot of Youtube videos.

I have coworkers with a similar attitude toward computers. They're needed for work
and nothing else.
