I don't drive so I'm not up on the latest car technologies. Could that be a reminder that you shouldn't be relying on lane-assist (or lane departure technology) at that time? I wouldn't be surprised if most people needed a nudge for something like that.

Back on topic, I used to work on some complicated stuff, and I found that reading the documents and specs on the computer made me dumber compared to reading printouts on paper. It took pushing my brain to the limits to notice the difference. I always had the feeling that my brain was doing something else when staring at the screen, and that I could focus better when looking at paper. So, such studies fit with my personal experience. However, for 99.9% of my reading where I didn't have to think as hard, reading off of a monitor was fine. Since then, I find that E-Ink displays aren't as distracting as computer monitors, so I do a lot of my spec/document reading on my ereaders.
