  • it remains academic, giving only necessary information.

      consider subbing "informative" in lieu of "academic." I think it is more fitting to what you are trying to convey.
  • I don’t think I have heard the word hooey since first grade, let alone from a grown man, but it is a bit refreshing

  • But it’s a different kind of reading, and behind it lies a different kind of thinking—perhaps even a new sense of the self

      The focus of online reading is drastically differnt from reading traditional text. Close-readings are not all too common--the prevalence of quick-reading reflects our obssession with immediate satisfaction. Personally, I find reading on the computer can be rather straining, so I do find myself skimming a lot to get through whatever I'm reading(without printing). I'm sure there are a lot of other reasons this is the case. But, as the author mentions, a new way of thinking comes derives from this reading method. The author suggests that we don't make the same deep connections reading online these days. Ths is presented as resding light and an unsettling direction which is even a threat to "self." Incorporating identity in the argument lends power to the article.
