Welcome to /o/STEM! This circle is dedicated to science, technology, engineering, maths, and medicine, where you can discuss all things STEM, seek career advice, share learning resources, and pose “ask an expert” questions to the Ovarit STEM community.
Please provide a descriptive title for your posts and add a flair that best describes your post topic. We encourage posters to add links to relevant articles or research papers in their posts and comments.
Since our focus is on STEM, posts should not be focused on politics, ethics, or philosophy. Any discussion on popular science or medicine (to include COVID-19) must be based on scientific principles and research.
This is also not the place to discuss diet, lifestyle, alternative medicine, or psychology. For these topics please check out o/women which is a general discussion circle and o/womenshealthlounge which is a support sub for health issues.
No conspiracy theories, no quackery, no spamming, and no politically charged posts. The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
Any posts that fail to meet the criteria provided above may be removed.
Thank you and enjoy!
A computer screen hurts your eyes. You don't really feel it, it's subconscious.
That's why people don't read web pages, instead, they scan them for information, find what they need, and go.
I thought this was pretty well accepted - it is accepted in the Human Computer Interaction / Usability world at least.
I'm guessing this is a deeper dive into that phenomenon, and focused on cell phones vs computer screens?
It's one of the reasons I have a Kindle with the "e-ink" - it really reads like a book, not like a computer. It's wonderful for reading.
