Nowadays any average Joe can have a web page for just about any purpose. Any one of us can create a site, and have it published and ready to go in a matter of minutes or hours, without undergoing any sort of evaluation or revision. The ease of publication on the internet has led me to read in a slightly different way. When reading something online, the credibility of the source should always be in question. Now obviously, if you're reading an article on the New York Times website, or something of the sort, it would be a lot easier to determine the validity of the article. However if you're reading someone's personal website or blog, a few questions should come to mind. Who is the author? What is the purpose of this page? What credentials if any does the author present?
As far as writing goes, I feel that the actual physical process of writing has become more efficient, at least for me. I can type way faster than I can write. It's much easier for me to proofread my writing when using a computer, not having to read my own chicken scratch.
