I, on the other hand, am learning that the internet is making me stupid. I've developed an allergy to articles under 500 words and find myself gravitating to things that split pages not out of algorithmically-generated pageview whoring but out of necessity. My mother gave me a subscription to the New Yorker. I hate it. Not because I hate their long articles but because of their dripping, egoist "nothing interesting ever happens west of the Hudson" elitism. But the long articles in Outside and others really turn my crank these days. Dunno. The Internet sucks. I like things that are less "internetty."
