Reading on Screens

Reading on Screens

Everyone has their own opinion about how screens affect our daily lives. There are many perspectives and many pros and cons to both sides of this topic. But reading these articles gave me a new perspective and presented new facts that opened up my understanding of digital technology in todays society.

When reading the articles Everything Science Knows About Reading on Screens and Reading in a Whole New Way, there were two different perspectives shown. In the first article Everything Science Knows About Reading on Screens there were many scientific facts on how reading on screens and reading on paper can make a difference of understanding what you are reading. This article was leaning more towards how reading books and paper versions is more effective. They continue to state throughout the article how screens can produce negative affects on readers. Overall, you could tell what side they were leaning towards.

In the second article, Reading in a Whole New Way, presents more of a discussion on how reading has changed over time. I found that they are coming across with more of an open mind and not so opinionated. They state the facts, and a lot of the readers know they are true because they have gone through the digital transition in their lives. The overall consensus of this article states basically where the digital world has gone and where it plans to head in the future.

Whether digital technology has effected you in a positive or negative way it is important to have an open mind about it because that is where are world seems to be headed today.
