"While researching a subject, four out of 10 young people never revisited the same web page twice, while people who grew up before the age of the internet repeatedly returned to the same source. Which is to say, people who came of age in an era when 'research' meant 'studious hours in the library stacks' are more accustomed to in-depth work with sources, while young ADD-addled rapscallions like myself are skipping around, skimming, gleaning bits and pieces of information from disparate sources as we bleep-bloop away on our infernal mobile devices."
