Go, Speed Reader!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — donosmond @ 9:54 am

Who ever said that you can’t read 300 wpm?

I found this little diddy while at work the other day.

I frequently read a ton of articles every day, but it takes a long time. (Not always been the fastest reader.) But, this is a blessing from above. Seriously! Not to mention, it definitely removes the lackadaisical attitude resulting from reading boring articles.

If you’re a slow reader you may want to give it a try. If you all ready read 300+ wpm… well then.

  2. That’s INSANE! It’s waaaaaaayyyyyy too fast for me (it makes my eyes, and my brain, just HURT!).

    I need to read much more slowly than that, especially if I really want or need to retain the information I’m reading. All it looked like to me was a bunch of random words thrown up on the screen one at a time. (Call it a “curse” of being a left-brain person!).

    But hey… if it works for you, then more power to ya! :)

  6. Don,

    You are in communications, right?

    Does your industry actually use information about what speeds people read at? Is it something they study? I don’t mean specific people. I mean like rate at how graphics or delivery of message are conveyed in multimedia?

    Probably a dumb question but I’ll ask it anyway!
