What in the world is a "smart phone parasite"?Rahat Ali wrote:I think reading on a smart phone is somewhat difficult espcially for elders having sight problem..it makes a person a smart phone parasite as well..radiations may also effect the readers..however to cope with the busy life styles in tge new world , to red on a smart phone has now become a necessity as well as addiction..we cant get rid of reading on smart phones..no way..impossible...we have to read on and the people are doing so...
As for it being problematic for older readers, at 76 I have to limit reading on my phone to about 15 or 20 minutes on an LCD phone or about 30 minute sessions on my current AMOLED screen. But I can stop reading for a couple of minutes and then read another session. I usually read on my Kindle but when I'm out and about I read on my phone. It's entirely doable and there's no eyestrain as long as I take that short break before my eyes get tired.

However ,may have some drawbacks .
-- 15 Jul 2017, 09:34 --
Its my personal experience , may be i m wrong , whenever i use digital media to read something , get bored , feel upset , become tired , but reading on paper media is awesome. i feel very good even reading a whole book at a time , feel very fresh , concentration becomes stronger and stronger and bla bla bla. I dont know why , is this happening with me only or others also suffers from the same problem.Actually our nature wants natural things , not modern innovations. i will prefer to read neither on smart phone nor laptops etc ...

Another point in my mind is that , reading on smart phone seems to suck our energies while paper medium , inflate us with energies , its my personal opinion and experience , may be , i m wrong
