InBrief

InBrief is an app inspired by the class reading "Daylight difficulty is the point" where the author talked about how the students in her class were not interested in reading long articles/books, but seemed like they would rather spend time reading short paragraphs on social media that tunes to their content preference.

On page 4, she wrote:
"Well, there is only one way to go on, as I tell students – and that is to go on. This is the first and greatest difficulty they face. There’s no reason for them to continue reading. There is so much else to read that is shorter, and not just aimed at them, but, in the case of their Facebook feed, tuned to their experience. Marketed to them. Why would they bother reading something that was neither for them nor about them?"
