The Disadvantages And Disadvantages Of Reading

Carr identifies how reading a book is different from reading online because when you read online, you don’t think deeply about what it is you’re reading, and you don’t have to concentrate nearly as much. Carr also mentions that the Internet is something people find themselves going to more often than books because it is more time efficient.

The film “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, which was converted to a movie from a short story, talks about the negative consequences of daydreaming. Walter, who is the protagonist of the movie, daydreams in his daily life frequently. He imagines extraordinary events and loses his connection with the world. This habit of Walter Mitty leads him into a couple of bad consequences. His colleagues make fun of him while Walter Mitty was daydreaming. For instance, his boss says, “Do you think, if I hit him with a paper clip, would he move?” (Stiller, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) and throws a paper clip to him. This movie showed me that people cannot think properly and their relation with the real world disappears as they daydream. That’s why, they cannot notice what is going on around them, which is a negative

After reading the article “Literacy Debate: Online, R U really reading?” by Motoko Rich, I believe that the internet is very beneficial in many ways but I also believe reading books is important at certain times. As being a teenager the internet has become a far better source when it comes to research. The internet is very quick on answers unlike books where you have to flip through pages for an answer to a simple question. Now why would someone choose to do more when they can do less with a simple click of a button? The internet is very useful; without the internet we wouldn’t have been able to have the opportunity to have this discussion here. On the contrary, the internet might be much faster with information but it is not always reliable.

In one study it is revealed that “literary readers are markedly more civically engaged than non readers… more likely to perform charity work, visit a museum, or attend a sporting event.” Gioia adds this study to her essay because she her audience to know that not reading doesn't just affect your job or work, it affects your daily

Reading has always been a very important basic element that everyone should have learned and mastered at the beginning of their education. Reading can range from starting to read a simple book, the newspaper, or lead up to reading and keeping up with articles on important events that are going on around a country or the world. Dana Gioia makes a claim about the great importance of keeping the habit of reading. Using ethos and logos, Dana Gioia successfully persuades the reader and audience to agree that the habit of reading is getting lost and society might suffer in a huge way because of it.

Davis gives the reader an overview of what is to be expected in the article including library statistics for the year from public and school libraries and methods currently being used in libraries. The author does not want to limit the research to only one type of library by separating the libraries by academic and public will show the differences in what effect eBooks have had on

Reading is immensely important to society. That's why Dana Gioia persuades us that without reading are society gets scarily terrible. She persuades us using facts and emotional words or phrases.

Dana Gioia thinks that the decline of reading has a negative impact on today’s society. He gives evidence and facts to persuade the readers “why literature matters".

Throughout the article, Gioia uses logical appeal by providing evidence for his claims. He starts by writing that it is important to read literature. He then alludes to the 2002 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts to show that Americans decreasingly

Students aren’t limited to a local physical library. With technology, students have several sources of information in various formats such as books, articles, newspapers, videos, and much more.

Declines in reading is growing larger and larger as time goes on. The author showed this by using a survey that was taken in 2002. It stated “declines have been most severe among younger adults… ages 18-24”. If the younger adults arent intrested in reading, then they won’t push that love onto their children one day. This then starts a trend of literature rates droping fast.

In this paper, Gioia argues that there has been a major decline in reading among young adults. Additionally he argues that this issue affects not only literature and the arts, but all aspects of life. He creates this argument through the use of relevant facts and examples.

Even though books are static (the format depends on the end-user), within the next 10 years the library’s design will drastically change as technology advances such as digitization of books and the “read-write media culture”( Stein, C, 2014, p. 78). First of all, instead most of the space being designated for books, the library becomes the hub for people

As printed text becomes more difficult to read, reading as a hobby has gotten a lot less attractive to some people. UCLA psychology professor Patricia Greenfield points out in her studies, “reading develops imagination, induction,

The library is a wonderful place to go to if you would like a quiet place to work. I like being at the library because it is filled with knowledge, and there are many different books that interest me. I enjoy going to the library because walking there clears my mind. Also, there are many books that are available for the public to read and it is a quiet place to do work.
