(Hosting-NewsWire.com, November 20, 2012 ) Guangdong, China -- A recent study from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey found that people, especially those with poor vision, read better on a “backlit tablet” such as the iPad or Kindle rather than classic print.
The study took 62 people with vision problems, and asked them to read the same article in three different forms. The first form was New York Times newspaper print; the second was a computer printout of the articles; and the third was on an iPad 2. The study found that when the subjects read the article on the iPad 2, it took much less time.
In a second study, 100 people with poor vision were asked to read a chapter in a book in three different forms. The first form was in original book format; the second was on an iPad 2; and the third was on an Amazon Kindle (with no backlight). The study found that those reading from the iPad 2 read approximately 42 more words per minute than those reading from the hard copy book. It was also found that those reading the iPad 2 read 12 more words per minute than those reading the Amazon Kindle.
So, for all of those who think new technology is harder to read from, and prefer the classic book, it may behoove you to try it before denouncing it. Those will weaker vision are shown to have read better and faster on new technology than from old templates.
As the new generation grows, the old generation of reading technology such as paperback books, print newspapers, and pen and paper become more obsolete. Now, studies prove that it may actually benefit our eyes. With better vision comes faster reading. Faster reading begets more informational intake. From more that intake comes a more progressive society and that is what makes our world evolve.
Dr. Daniel Roth, an associate clinical professor and study leader said that for people who are starting to lose their vision, technology improvement could not come at a better time. “Digital tablets can improve the lives of people with vision loss and help them reconnect with the larger world,” said Roth, who will present the study at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in November.
