These tools convert traditional study materials into more engaging formats that align with Gen Z's content consumption preferences.<br /> <br /> Insight - Today's students have grown up in an environment of constant digital stimulation, leading to evolving expectations around how they consume and process information. The rise of "brainrot" content - videos that are simple yet oddly engaging - points to a broader shift in how younger generations maintain focus and absorb information. Rather than viewing multitasking as a distraction, many now see it as a tool for enhanced engagement.
