Regardless of the article's inappropriate title, the author seems to
be missing the nature of how most people read on the internet. IMO,
skimming the internet is much more akin to reading a newspaper than
reading a novel, or an article in a journal - we scan the headlines
looking for something that peaks our interest, and if we find
something, we continue to read. The rest is discarded. It feels like
the author is looking at the issue kind of backwards. Instead of a
short attention span, this method seems to be an efficient way of
sorting through tons of material.
I'll agree that this article is way too long. It easily could have
been edited to one quarter of the length without losing any actual
content. I'm guessing that was on purpose!
