How has the Web changed reading?

Filed under: Uncategorized — juliabv96 @ 8:26 am

From emails, to web cams the web has ultimately given us access. What it also has given us is the ability to read. Of course most of us can read but having the World Wide Web has expanded the world of reading to those who were not as fortunate such as the blind and illiterate. There is now audio that goes along with certain stories which allows people to follow along at any given time. With a click of a button people are now capable of being up to date. They no longer have to rely on someone else to read to them.

You are also able to read many things at once or search for stories you may have missed in previous papers. You definitely don’t miss out because of the web. The web can also be a distraction to those who need to read and don’t deny it. It is during the time that we have to read online articles for our classes that face book and twitter immediately draws us in and some how two hours have passed and you haven’t read anything. Even worse we have skimmed through it, thinking that it is enough to get us by for the next quiz.

The web is a wonderful addition but it can definitely test your ability to focus. Remember once you are done reading the wed and its wonderful access will still be there.
