Do you think that the internet has shortened our attention spans? Just look at the popularity of things like twitter, with their (how much was it, 150 character?) word count. I personally wonder if I used to be a stronger reader when I was younger, I also think Harold Bloom may have been right when he said that people don't read as much because there's so many screens for people's attention to be occupied. I read an article for my introduction to writing class before I quit college, which was basically all speculation about how the internet shortens people's attention spans.
