0:00 I used to like reading a lot. That was my preferred way. But nowadays I have switched to completely to listening because I can do something else. The reading occupies me too much. I can't do anything else. I need to be in one place. I need to read it. And it takes pretty much the full capacity in a sense that I have to stare at the text and I have to absorb it. And it's certain speed I can do that. And I can actually listen faster if you speed it up than you can read. And that way I can also do something else. I can close my eyes. I can walk. I can do something else. So it's more effective in that way as well. So I would say that speaking and listening is the original form. We didn't start by writing, going back in history. So in that sense, we go back to the original form. And I think that's the way I would say it.
0:52 Going back to the roots. And I think it's just a matter of also getting used to it.
