Favorite Blogs

I chose these two blogs because they both express concepts that I am interested in. Both blogs were very easy to use and had fun layouts/designs. My favorite part of the sees blows that there is a whole tab and site for Halloween candy! I completely adore halloween so I was super excited to see this! On the ESPN blog I was really impressed by how you could customize it based on the teams you are interested in.

Everything Science Knows About Reading On Screens

Now I am really confused. This article by Annie Sneed  is similar but much more compelling for me than the Smithsonian article. A lot of what is sad backs up my original theory that reading on screen is a bad innovation and that paper still needs to be used. In one section the article states, " But this style of reading may come at a cost—Liu noted in his study that sustained attention seems to decline when people read onscreen rather than on paper, and that people also spend less time on in-depth reading. “In digital, we can link in different media, images, sound, and other text, and people can get overwhelmed,” explains Andrew Dillon". I, myself, have always believed that paper has the advantage due to the physicalness of it  and when I read on screen I tend to get a headache easily. However, I am still open minded when it comes to others opinions on the subject. Honestly, it comes down to personal preference in most ways.

Is Google Making Us Stupid?

Image
The article, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" by Nicholas Carr , demonstrates how the internet has affected our overall thinking and our attention spans overtime. Throughout the article, one idea that stood out to me is how personal discipline may play a major role in how we use the internet. Listed in the article are distractions that destroy our attention spans. However, with correct critical thinking and a little bit of concentration we can avoid these distractions entirely.  On another note, I do agree with Nicholas Carr when he discusses how we form connections to many of our electronic devices (cell phones, computers, etc.). They do make our lives easier but they can be easily distracting. Once reading "Is Google Making Us Stupid", it makes you worried and cautious of the fact that we can easily become enslaved to technology. As mentioned above, I do not entirely agree that the distractions can not be overcome, but it does allow the risk of loosing our critical
