Joanna,

You asked

"BTW Does anyone read whole papers anymore?"

Yes. In the "Journal of DEEP tweeting". It is great: people go to meetings
and tweet stuff. Then a CONVOLUTIONAL DEEP NETWORK classifies the tweet as
"boring","fair", "wow". Graphs are encouraged, but tweets longer than ten
words are discouraged, because 95% of the reviewers, whose tweeted reports
are fed into the DEEP network, have attention deficit disorder. It has been
reported that they tweet while reviewing tweets submitted to the journal.

If you pay $3000, the accepted tweet is an open access tweet. For an
additional $3000, a drone-based system will correct dyslexia and conjugation
issues in tweets such as "Me Tarzan, you Jane. Chita stop tweeting!"

Instructions online include a manual: "The Twitter KIng", Non-Singularity
University Press. The author is anonymous but owns a bulding called "The
Tweet Tower". The TWEETography is done automatically, which is great.
