## What is Touch The Classic?

The app's concept is based on a 2013 research by the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. The research found that reading excerpts from highly intellectual literature met the requirements that assess the cognitive abilities of readers.  Reading increases the ability to recognize the feelings and points of view of interlocutors.  Other beneficial properties, even short reading, such as reducing cognitive load and stress, increasing the activity of the cerebral cortex, and others are well-known.
Touch The Classic is made in a concise design, which allows you to focus directly on reading.  App has 2 modes.  The classic mode allows you to read generated excerpts, select excerpt’s size, and also select a genre: fiction or philosophy. The quiz mode is made like a game in which you have to guess the book among 2 or 4 answer options.
  
Touch The Classic allows you to:
  1. Immerse yourself in reading for a short time, which especially helps to switch between different types of mental activity.
  2. Find inspiration by touching the greatest writers and thinkers of the past
  3. Instantly generate small excerpts from literary masterpieces
  4. Play in quiz mode
  5. Over 50,000 excerpts
  6. Two genres: philosophy and fiction
