A recent Washington Post article brings out the concern of cognitive neuroscientists that online reading is changing the brain and making it difficult to read for comprehension. One typical person interviewed says she clicks on posted links, "reads a few sentences, looks for exciting words, and then grows restless, scampering off to the next page . . ."
