No, frickin' duh. If you want to skim materials, go ahead and skim. But if you need to understand something, want to enjoy reading something, or need to remember the details from something, you have to read at a "normal" speed instead of skimming. If you find yourself immersed in a lot of material that is so vapid, uninteresting, and inconsequential that you can simply skim all of it with no negative consequences, I'd suggest that perhaps you have some life choices to re-examine.
