Susan Jacoby, in her recent "The Age of American Unreason", repeats a point made by others that reading on a computer screen (and listening to music in short segments on an ipod) is conducive to doing things in short periods. I have "felt" this personally, but I know of no research to back it up. Just imagine reading a George Eliot or Thomas Hardy novel on a computer screen: would you do it? I wouldn't.
