Of course I know that surfing is reading too. But not at the same level. Most of the time, the attention is divided, and I don't read as thoroughly when surfing. I skim and scan a lot more. Look for certain info instead of trying to absorb everything.

Surfing is more useful, but less rewarding. (for me) Surfing is more educational too, for me.

I can surf for probably 4 hours straight, but only ready for maybe an hour or two, after which I need a nap.
