On the Web, it is an entirely different story, one where clicking dominates thinking. When someone reads a report and has a question related to what was just read, the answer is usually just a click away.

Why should a person take the time to think when he or she can click his or her way to an instantaneous answer to a question that might otherwise have necessitated some thinking on the part of the person to get an answer.
