Spurred Laziness
As a semi-anti-Technologist; I find this somewhat disturbing.
(yes, I know, engineer's are not supposed to be against something that is part of their being....can't help it; always enjoy a paradox)

What if you're a s-l-o-w reader? Then what? Those words flashing on the screen would just be a jumbled mess...besides, I think that would give any normal person a headache after one paragraph!
I wonder if there's any danger of seizures? The technology sounds like one of the dangerous anime cartoons with the flashing lights....
"Reading" online is so great, huh? How does the author of that article explain the explosion of paper book sales?
These days, people want slow cooked. They crave real experiences and emotion. The smell of the paper, a five course meal.
If you ask me, six different screens in front of my face is yet another dehumanizing advancement.
Luckily, it will take some time before this sort of literacy catches on (if it ever does). How do I know this, you ask? Because we're not eating our dinners in pill form yet and flying around the city in hovercrafts.
