I agree. People who can sip from firehoses of information are going to be rewarded. I have a feeling that anything that requires long-chunks of attention has a high chance of being automatable.
My ability to skim read has worked wonders for my career. I can't sit and read an article or book from top to bottom, but I estimate I consume 10x as much information daily than the average person. It's a blessing and a curse.
