Umm i really have no opinion on this article the way be act towards reading (espically black people) i could really care less how you read as long as you do it. But still reading on the computer is really distracting and harder to focus. reading a book is more private and a better way to avoid pop ups.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Dashayna, its really nothing to be said on this article. But I do think computers should just be used for things like typing, or research. But trying to read a book is just being extremely stupid some people already have problems reading a book just imagine doing it on the computer, now tell me exactly how much reading would they get done?.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly see where Anne Morgan is coming from, from the simple fact I read stuff off the computer all the time and I have real trouble reading books. I often find that a book is more enticing then the computer also, but when I think about her idea straight forward it sounds a bit skeptical. I mean how did she come to this conclusion, did people actually pay her to research this topic because this just seems like something anyone could make up and follow. Even though I agree with her anyone is gullible and I would more or less like to know who funded this research and what is that person's goal, but overall pretty crazy topic and I would like to see more research done on the subject because I can relate.
ReplyDeletein my opinion it is all the same. its the same words and content. it is just a different form of the material. its like the audio books and the book itself. the reader gets the info one way of another. its just an upgrade for the society
