The article is more about reading actual books and not about ignoring reality. In other words, having a deeper understanding of societal conditions and not just the shallow interpretations that filter through social media.

It also says that younger generations (who presumably consume the most social media) are the biggest readers of books, and that they appear to be the most ready/keen to enact change.
Based on the data presented in the article, it’s clear that you can consume both types of media/information simultaneously without “throwing away your phone”.
