Such a strange article considering that nearly all of the web is text. The vast majority of internet time is spent reading.

Under a certain age, that may not be true anymore.

This should be the subject of a study.

(Not being sarcastic.)

I for one read much more and much more widely on the Internet than I ever did offline, but am I the future or am I a sport? It's an important question.

I agree with you. I certainly feel that I read a lot online now, but so much of it is in small bursts. I find it hard now to maintain decent concentration while trying to read long documents/books offline.
