As a lightweight example: I noticed in the early years of the web that spending a lot of time on eg eBay in the evenings (as a lot of us did) is tiring
Not just because you should’ve gone to bed long ago, but also because it’s a weird mixture of modalities
• scrolling vertically isn’t natural (we’re physiologically more aligned to spot differences across a horizon plane)
• there’s numbers (prices, quantities sizes, dates, but most importantly prices)
• there’s words
• there’s pictures
Each of the latter three are treated quite differently in the brain and at different speeds and in different ways (eg people with more than one language will speak fluently in an acquired language yet dive back into their original language to count or do things with numbers)
Compound this with the non-stop torrent of packets of the above, and it’s no wonder none of us are sleeping properly in the first half of the century – each little packet of info (number/words/picture) takes a heavy load of interpretation and we just shove one after another after another into our eyes
