Interface Design and Optimization of Reading of Continuous Text -- "Paradoxically, computer technology may lead to an increase in the use of text and an increase in literacy, because we are in a window of time in which it is easy and efficient to produce, store, manipulate, and transmit computerized text files, and comparatively difficult to process graphics, sound, or video. The amount of reading of text from electronic displays is increasing substantially every year."

Is it just me, or does it seem that the vast majority of the research cited in this paper was done at least 10 years prior to the paper's publication? I wonder what would happen if some of the studies were conducted again on a modern population?
