Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Faster formats don't automatically destroy reading. They change it.
  2. When everything else gets faster and cheaper, the stuff that requires real-time and attention becomes more important, more valuable.
