Great article from Sarah Perez (great blogger to contact) about whether people are actually still reading and where they are going to find and consume media
And because of blogs, forums, and email, I probably write several dozen pages worth of text each week, which is probably more than many members of previous generations can claim!
It is perhaps not accurate to consider all kinds of writing, as well as all kinds of reading, as equivalent. This lack of distinction between different types or levels of reading/writing looks like a major flaw in most of teh discussion about reading decline, etc..
It's extremely helpful to use hyperlinks to flow between information, especially if you need to find specific interest points, but it hinders as you haven't had the full picture as the author intended.
Digital reading (but the story began much much earlier) tends to reduce information to facts, which is a good thing when you are looking for facts. But the thinking part, the "knowledge" part is now up to you, with little help. See Wikipedia, which is unchallenged (more and more) to give facts but totaly lacking of style in the writing of the articles.
