Teen Bible Reading Study and Logos

I was surprised to read the results of the latest Barna research study that shows the majority of teens prefer reading physical Bibles over electronic ones. https://www.barna.com/research/top-10-findings-teens-bible/

See the screenshot below for an exerpt. I thought that young people would prefer digital reading given their exposure to the digital world but apparently not.

It makes me wonder how many young people are using Logos and how we can encourage more to experience this amazing tool. Thoughts?

I'm a bit surprised that no one has offered their comments about this. Perhaps it just got lost in all the Logos 7 excitement.

Just seen this.

Yes, those stats are surprising. Most young people are highly connected with the digital world. I wonder what the interest level in bible study is between the teens polled.

Correct. I didn't even notice this posting until just now.

I'm curious about the term "searched on smartphone". That involves either the internet or an app, and separating it out is a bit strange... I'm pretty sure, that internet/apps/smartphone combined would outrank hardcopy bibles.

However, it's easy to arrange any statistics so that it matches the message one wants to convey.

Here's some suggested reading: https://vyrso.com/product/24084/christians-are-hate-filled-hypocritesand-other-lies-youve-been-told

"Wright reveals to readers why and how statistics are distorted..."

In this particular case, I just don't see the "why" though.

I'm just mildly annoyed that the Mass is contrasted with "worship services", since the Mass is a worship service. I know that nothing malicious was meant.
