TEXT REMAINS KING of the web, and will remain for the foreseeable future: I totally agree with Steve Rubel, who lists the reasons why.

I'd also add that watching video on the computer makes it much more difficult to multitask, because it forces constant attention. I don't think I'm the only one, for example, who works at the computer while having the TV in the background. I can't seem to find the patience of watching an online video longer than a couple of minutes, do you?
