There is a new company set up called Spritz that want to change the way we all read - their app can help people read up to 500 words a minute!


Here is a little gif test

I think most people can read quite quickly but it is about comprehension and what you actually absorb. I find the quicker I read the less I remember afterwards.

Pretty impressive TBF. Wouldn't fancy reading literature that way, but can come in handy when reading long drawn-out pieces.

I'd challenge anyone to try and read Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings etc at 1000 words a minute and ACTUALLY understand it. Likewise with the work in any decent scientific journal.

Roman Numerals are also little more than a way of people utilising a system that is mostly irrelevant in an attempt to show off. Being able to count to 100 in a number system that predates the times of Jesus is pretty insignificant compared to knowing how to treat an antifreeze overdose or detection of the early signs of necrotising fasciitis, I'd say  Wink 

PS. It's LXXVI
