"But is this making us flat (wide) and thin thinkers, rather than deep thinkers? Do our needs change our thinking? Or does our thinking change our needs as a culture? In any case, it's a very interesting topic."
I don't think it's as simple as thinking wide/thin or deep. I think it's a matter of filtering useful information and applying it more instantly. It also helps to communicate more effectively than providing long essays which may require access to a thesaurus or dictionary. In web content, you want audience attention, which could mean lowering the written word grade level. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
