I largely agree with the author and I don't buy into the idea that online reading is destroying our attention span, rewiring our neurons or will kill the long form. What's changed is the ability of poor writers to fill the channel. We now have more of a challenge to sift through the junk but good writers and good editors will always be in demand and will find a way to be read. We need to put a stop to the drivel about the death of this or that form of culture or art - if it can't rise through the spam it doesn't deserve to survive.
