Hi Carlina, and welcome to RMST 520! And yes, there's quite a strong narrative that "social media has had a very negative impact on peoples’ attention spans." Anecdotally, for sure, this seems to be true. We didn't mention this in class yesterday, but surely if we are going to do our "best reading," we should also be turning our phones off as we sit down with our long book?

Meanwhile, I'll be interested to hear what you make of Les guerriers de l’hiver, about which I know nothing. We will all be learning from each other, I hope, in this course!
