Nicholas Carr cites a study done on the “behavior of visitors to two popular research sites” which gives its users an even larger degree of online texts.

Third, emphasis was laid on HIV/AIDS, weight loss, or fat intake. Moreover, the strengths outlined with quasi-experimental designs are a part of the pre-test and post-test in clinics for women and children nutrition.

Reader- Response to Rothenberg David Rothenberg in his essay “How the Web Destroys the Quality of Students’ Research Papers” identifies and explains several clues that disturbing decline of students’ work. The professor was trying to criticize the World Wide Web in some ways such as lack of creativity, outdated material in depth, and decline in the use on a par with the quality of libraries. He persuades his readers who are students and teachers that the internet has not been doing any good to the development of students’ research papers. Rothenberg provides extremely well-described examples that show that the World Wide Web affects negatively on the students’ work.
