    That was a great panel. I loved their comments on cultural literacy. It will be one of the most important forms of literacy for the future, as cultures come together on the internet.

    And another thing: I like how the one guy mentioned that kids will read if we write what they like, i.e. Harry Potter and Twilight. I think a-lot of what people attribute to short attention spans on the web, is really due to bad writing.
