I agree, that's exactly what was going through my mind as I read it.

As for my opinion on the article... I don't fully agree with it. I haven't noticed in myself or in my peers any substantial difference in the way I perceive reading lengthy passages. The only reason why people may read less is that their lives are busier with other things?
