I have a terrible confession to make: I barely read anything in 2015 that wasn't related to work. I have to read a lot every day as part of my job, but rarely did I take the time last year to read a novel in bed, finish an article in a magazine simply because I thought it looked interesting, or finish that story friends on social media told me is a "must read."

Most of the time, I click on a story, scan it quickly, then open another tab, which is how most people consume media these days. I don't like that. I don't like the kind of reader this short attention span makes me, and I don't like the kind of stories it incentivizes publications to write. 

I was surprised and encouraged to find out that Adrianne Jeffries, Motherboard's managing editor, thinks that this will start to change in 2016. Jeffries knows a lot about the current media landscape. She admitted to me, distressed, that she can barely think of anything else these days. So I decided to turn Jeffries's misery into our collective wisdom by getting her predictions for how our media consumption habits will change this year.
