Two observations from the perspective of someone, at 58, its getting sneak previews of the frailties of aging: 1. While I do avoid long pieces of print writing, it's because of my eyesight, not my Internet use. I miss books, and am considering getting an e-reader. In the meantime, the Internet is the only thing that *lets* me read books - including the full-length novels being distributed this week by Tor.com, free of charge - because I can zoom up the text size. 2. Google makes me smarter than I really am. If I had the ability to jack it into my skull, I would.
There are things wrong with the world and the culture I live in. The Internet, in my considered opinion, is not one of them.
