I disagree. Writing has several functions. It provides information. It entertains. And it makes people think. I've been reading since I was 7 years old. For the first 12 years at school, I read between 2 and 4 books a day (an hour for each book), and I didn't connect with anyone. So I'm missing something here. Do you mean writing on the web.

Anyway, thanks for an interesting article. You've got very good points. Cheers.
