Everything Science Knows About Reading On Screen


The intermixing of books and technology can be quiet a controversial topic when it comes to things such as e-books, or other apps that you are able to read books on; the idea of "nonlinear" reading is based off of how people perceive e-books verses physically held books that make you work to find what you are looking for. While the true version of the written work is less distracting than reading online, there are positives and negatives to reading online. If you skim through novels that contain important details that you can only get by reading each and every single word one every single page. The little things do, and always will matter.

Reading in a Whole New Way


The very beginning how it all started, can be uncomprehending to some who are born of a later generation. They never have had to experience the feelings you get from writing a handwritten letter verses a simple text message. This article describes the past uses of communication and ways that people had only dreamed of experiencing.

There is a quote at the end of the article that says, "Screens will be the first place we'll look for answers, for friends, for news, for meaning, for our sense of who we are and who we can be."

The Very First Last Class of My Senior Year

Today, I wrote a note to my mother; something I have not done in a long time. She always sends me letters, and cards through the mail for holidays, or just when she misses me. But I never return the favor. In this class, I was shown old images of my family home that I grew up in, and it brought to the surface, feelings of the past, as if I were still living in that house. It made me think differently; about my past, about my family, about where I am now, and how much I have grown. I miss that time in my life: When everything was simple.
