      Above-linked story confirms something I've been noticing during the last ten years on social media: often I'll link to a story, and the majority of commenters either clearly didn't read it or read it quickly, and want to know why I didn't mention X when I clearly did.

      Two or three times a week, I'll post a link to a story and have somebody immediately complain that it fails to mention X or that it makes some sort of absolute statement about Y, when neither thing is true, and reading a bit more slowly would've prevented the misperception.

      I try to compose Tweets carefully, and will often delete stuff even if it's already been RTd because I noticed a mistake or missing word, but sometimes I wonder what the point is, because some responses completely misread what was plainly stated.

      I wish that stories had some kind of built-in way of detecting and reporting whether people commenting on them actually read them, and if so, how long they spent reading them.

      That way we could look at a receipt on a response, and ignore any that were posted without reading the thing being linked to, or that skimmed a long story in less than two minutes. There's no point having a conversation with someone who would do that.

      I say all this fully aware that I have no control over where society is headed thanks to tech. We're becoming a culture of skimmers and people who comment without reading. We tell ourselves it's because we're "too busy." Doing what? Futzing with our phones all day. I do it, too.

      It seems undeniable to me that we're collectively losing our ability to concentrate on a text of any kind, be it written or audiovisual, without getting impatient and needing additional, outside stimulus. Tech has rewired our brains. Can anything be done?

      You really could have used an editor on this tweet, Matt. I started losing interest around the 163rd character.
