Agree that everyone&#x27;s sense of time is changing. I struggle with this - I can&#x27;t keep myself from speed-reading&#x2F;skimming longer form text.<p>I do think this is problematic, and not all good. A great deal of knowledge still requires significant length of text to convey -- sure, the retrieval cost for any individual limited concept on the internet is much lower, but you&#x27;re not going to develop a rich understanding of, as a hyperbolic example, the history of China, from one article or from Wikipedia.
