The article is very satirical and is trying to get the point across that people are becoming more so lazy than ever when it comes to reading anything. The author goes to extremes to show how not being able to find a shortcut is really affecting the lives or people who are attempting to read this article. Although this is a funny article, it tackles a real problem that we face today which is the lack of effort that people put forth in their lives when it comes to having to focus or actually try to figure something out.
The hyperbole, i believe, is the repetitiveness of satire which is basically what the entire article is consisted of. The use of constant satire really gets across the entire point of the article, and does inspire one to keep reading. However you look at it, people are becoming to technology dependent and always looking for a short way out. Which is what the author is expressing in this piece.
I agree with what you had to say about Americans being dependent on technology only and looking for a shortcut, because I didn't really think of that so much as people just wanting a picture or something interesting to look at when reading it.
