Even as more and more Americans go on-line and find themselves looking at a screen rather than at a printed page, they will still be reading. Recent patterns show that individuals tend to read more as they get older and computer users read more than non-users. If these trends continue we may indeed expect an overall increase in aggregate per capita reading time as the huge baby-book population ages and as more and more people go on-line.
