What merits that the writer cater to you?

This struck me as odd:

“For my grandchildren, the idea that reading is something you do by yourself will seem arcane,” he says. “Why would you want to read by yourself if you can have access to the ideas of others you know and trust, or to the insights of people from all over the world?”

Though what's authored in a book might not be from anyone we know and trust (in itself not a "bad" thing) it's quite likely still a body of (possibly collective) insight already—perhaps even from someone(s) in less-local parts of the world.

Maybe I missed the point, but it felt like the quote was missing that a book is already a view into others' ideas and insights.

That said, even if printed books are to fall out of favor with the majority of literate people, it could still be a good idea to maintain physical libraries of works that many would find essential in the (perhaps unlikely) case that digital records fail or become inconvenient to access.

The language is a bit rough, but I'm curious to see where things go.

I'm in agreement.

(My mistake on using adopt when it was probably better to say "use".)

What's to stop—not slow down, but stop some one or ones from, so to speak, turning the tide with regard to RSS's adoption by the tech-indifferent?

What mindset was there to begin with prior to the shift to Twitter, et.al?

Also, please, will you elaborate on the shift?

When you think "startup," what comes to mind? And for "Small Business"?

Just a nitpick:

"Stop struggling to find products and let Rockerbox give you hand."

You're missing an "a" between "you" and "hand."

How is the exploitable amount of calories determined, exactly? Is there a layperson-readable resource somewhere that you might recommend?

How exactly do you identify the device? By phone number?

If that's the case, could it be possible to circumvent that through spoofing of the number and subsequent reception of the SMS message?

This sounds like something along the lines of Getting Things Done, a to-do system where goals are broken down into actionable tasks that can be re-arranged as needed.
