Debate: Reading Print vs. Reading Online

Yesterday, The New York Times started a new series of articles to focus upon what it means to be literate in a digital age: The Future of Reading -- Digital Versus Print. The series will explore "how the Internet and other technological and social forces are changing the way people read."

The first article--Literacy Debate: Online, R U Really Reading?--includes some interesting resources:
  • The New Readers (a graphic which illustrates the cognitive skills readers need to read online)
  • A Family of Readers (a video which explores the generation divide between readers in one family)
