NEWS: Young adults are being bombarded with useless shit, hungry for indepth news

While not related to mobile I feel this relates to a small number of IntoMobile readers, you know who you are, you have your homepage set to Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Reader. You know what RSS is and who invented it. You subscribe to anything on the net you find interesting. You complain that it’s hard to keep up with it all, yet you’re a sick twisted individual and do it anyway. You know who you are.
The AP did a report that basically says young adults these days want to read more indepth pieces, problem is they’re being hit with instant messages, email and more interruptions than they know what do with. There is actually a term for this now: “news fatigue”
Read the 71 page report [PDF] if you can, chances are you’ll make it to page 3 and then start browsing youtube.
