Writers will have to change the way they write

"Over the last couple of years, I've really noticed if I sit down with a book, after a few paragraphs, I'll ask: You know, where's the links? Where's the e-mail? Where's all the stuff going on?" says writer Nicholas Carr. The internet is training us to read in a distracted and disjointed way, he argues. But does that mean writers will have to change the way they write to capture the attention of an audience accustomed to this new way of reading? Carr thinks the answer is yes.
