R U REALLY READING

1. Do you think there is a big difference between reading something off the computer, or reading it on paper?
2. Is reading blogs off the computer as resourceful as reading a newspaper?
3. Is reading online affecting the way teenagers take standardized tests?

This article is about how reading online is making people not want to read actual books anymore. Technology is constantly coming about with something newer and more advanced, and people are taking advantage of that. Reading has become outdated, and people enjoy reading things off the Internet. People are arguing that reading off the Internet is different from reading books. standardized test scores are decreasing on reading sections, and young people are losing the ability to sit down and focus. Children are spending more and more time online, and this will continue as long as new technology emerges.
To answer the question of the title, I feel as if people truly are reading through online texts. Reading is reading no matter what, it truly does not matter what type of form it is in. People are able to communicate with each other like never before, and information is constantly being consumed by people via the internet. I prefer the Internet, and feel as if it is just as good or even better than reading, since reading is so outdated.
