What do a Facebook meme, a good novel, and our textbooks have in common? We all have to read them. Reading has become an indispensable activity in our lives. However, reading is not usually something that everyone enjoys all the time. For example, you can observe the distinct difference between a student glancing through their textbook and someone reading their favourite book. However, in the age of social media and the curtailed attention span of youths, reading is evolving. Merely saying words aloud from books is not enough anymore.

“The whole thing should be turned from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to STEAM ((Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Aesthetics and Mathematics). Because once a philosopher said that mathematics is beauty. And in order to understand this beauty, practising aesthetics is also important.”
