There are much more things to consume.
There were of course books and newspapers in the past (in fact even more press and higher quality than now), but I think for average person there was much less of everything - you had one book, one newspaper, few tv channels to choose from.
So people want the essence. Also the quality of modern writing is often poor - you dont learn much from articles, since the people who write them must pump few per day
