I had a similar reaction to the length of the article, but my conclusion was different. Just yesterday, someone posted a link on Reddit to an article written by a young person who, for various reasons, refuses to adopt eReader technology. The article inspired some great comments on Reddit, but one that stuck with me came from the always insightful Kleinbl00 (http://www.reddit.com/r/gadgets/comments/d9jh2/at_26_im_part_of_a_generation_raised_on_gadgets/c0yjrr4 http://www.reddit.com/r/gadgets/comments/d9jh2/at_26_im_part...) who drew an analogy to someone he once knew, taking the same stance with music: >Her solution was to go back to the CD wallets she used to carry around. Note that her problem wasn't fidelity. Her problem wasn't portability. Her problem was that for some reason she didn't have the attention span to listen to an entire album in its entirety unless she was forced to press eject, fish the CD into a wallet, fish another back out of a wallet, and fish it back into the CD player while in traffic in Manhattan. >And somehow, this was the fault of the iPod. Attention management has never been harder. However, the problem isn't the medium or the message, it's us. I've noticed that it's gotten harder over the last few years for me to focus on any long form writing. Yet the amount of reading I do (in terms of words-per-day) has probably increased dramatically. Even quieting down my mind enough to read books has become tough, despite being something that used to be perfectly natural for me. I'm sure this would make for an interesting discussion, so if any of you can offer some guidance, speak up.
