A closer look at Tagore.
You're not dumb.
You're distracted.
And distraction steals the one thing intelligence needs to manifest: attention. ¹
The science, in one minute
For decades, IQ scores rose generation after generation (the Flynn effect). A major meta-analysis estimates roughly 3 points per decade. ¹
Recently however, IQ test trends have shown that Gen Z is the first in recorded history to have a decreasing IQ trend. ²
The biggest change in recent times has not been diet, or education levels, but attention. Or rather distraction.
A world of notifications, feeds, autoplay, and infinite scroll doesn't just distract you. It reshapes what "normal" feels like. ¹ ²
Tagore is engineered to bring deep focus back — by removing attention traps and making writing physically satisfying.
What I see as an MD
As a surgeon specialising in Eyes, I see what a screen-first world does to the body - because attention has a physical cost, and the eyes pay it first. ³
When people lock onto screens, blink rate drops and blinks become incomplete. Tear film breaks up. Dryness, blur and headaches follow — classic digital eye strain. ³
So when we designed Tagore, we built it like a calmer visual environment — closer to paper than a phone.
Tagore has been engineered by science.
Tagore is a modern typewriter with a Paper-like screen built with research on visual ergonomics and circadian-friendly light, a keyboard biomechanically optimised for long writing sessions, and an Operating System designed to encourage deep focus.
