Until the latter part of the 20th century, reading was generally done on
paper. But with the arrival of the computer, and more recently devices
like smart phones and eReaders, many people are doing some of their
reading on screens. And while there is no question about the convenience
or scope of the information available online, experts are discovering
that if you are trying to learn something, in many cases it is easier to
do using printed documents.

All around the world, researchers and experts in literacy, memory and
cognition, verbal learning, neuroscience and human communication are
examining the question of whether information is better assimilated by
reading on paper or on screen. Jakob Nielsen, a web usability expert
noted that: "The online medium lends itself to a more superficial
processing of information, you're just surfing the information; it's not
deep learning."1
