Digital has ushered in a tactical communication style in that folks get only the info they need. For example, if your dryer breaks down, you can easily find info on fixing the heating element, without having to read an entire repair module or have experience with building and maintaining appliances in general. The ease of parsing out what you need while leaving the rest behind has hurt over all retention. As you forget everything you learned as soon as the dryer works again. If it breaks again, you just pull up the heating element page again. You never really learn to repair appliances.Once you toss in a narrative, like that of a novel, it doesn't matter how one consumes that type of media.</blockquote>
