Difference between visible & readable

In these fantastic new-normal days when screen is the bi-directional mirror, to and fro mirror etc. and when the screen is shared we generally asked this question "Is my screen visible?" including me. Its the question to start from, right?, yeah always.

And everyone says "yes, it is".

I usually say that "its visible but not readable". 

People get confused with my answer, they end up stop sharing, they go for re-sharing etc.

OMG, again then I need to explain, readable is different than visible, kindly zoom a bit or opt for zoom per page width option is by default given by almost all these platforms.

Next question generally from students is how to zoom it mam?

Bap re, deva, i already have 4 eyes, from next time on i should inform about the difference between these key-terms and action-words well in advance / before hand. 

Actually the contents are visible on their screen properly as they are used to that font, size, style and their screen the mirror, but not for the end-user like me. So much to learn from this tiny experience. He ram.

Likewise I think even our personality also should be readable; beyond just visible. In my research fraternity authors, researchers do innovative work and draft / craft a paper, submit, publish in reputed journal. But is that sufficient? No, with this the author is visible only, but his / her work will become impactful when outsiders read it, use it, cite it, right? Hence becoming readable is more important than just visible.

Same with making videos, blogs, presence on social media sites etc. posting something online is just visible, but when people learn from your work, extend it further, feel happy etc. then you become more distinctively visible = readable. 

OMG, so I merely started with one of my examples during conducting exams and audits online these days, but never knew that I can map it with our lives too.
