Is Technology Changing the Way We Read?

Technology has changed the way we do everything, especially the way we do every day. Technology has changed how we work and how to learn, and how we communicate with people we love. Technology has changed the way you use the brain to import and process information.

Since the 1980 's, we have published research on how to process information on the screen and how to process the paper on paper. Since then, recent research has confirmed that reading the screen is easier to understand and read than paper reading. According to Scientific Americans, digital readings may interfere with the reader 'browsing long texts in an intuitive and satisfying way'.

More interestingly, the sense that reading a real book is more important to the reading process than you understand. The book is easy to turn. Turning over the page in the process of turning over the book is like "leaving one footprint one by one". With the rhythm of turning pages, readers can create a mental map showing where they came from. Text location

E-book readers avoid this mapping by displaying one page at a time. Therefore, it is difficult to see a specific part of the context of the whole text.

Science Americans use the analogy of the Google map to explain why this is problematic in reading comprehension:

"Google Maps allows you to move to different street streets and specific addresses, but we try not to zoom out to see neighbors, states, and countries."

As the e-book reader's opinion is limited or missing, readers may take different attitudes towards their e-books and may not be reading them but may be closer to "tablets that are not useful for learning." This is very important for schools and experts who need reading especially when you frequently use digital texts or consider exchanging with e-book readers.

This phenomenon has begun to stabilize in the previous generation and they are increasingly familiar with screens, e-books and tablets, but we are not sure about the impact of the growth of so many integrated technologies on this generation Hmm. It is only time to know if they can better understand digital texts and whether they read and read are very different from the previous generation.

Are you facing many digital texts at work or at school? Do you think it will hinder the ability to understand and retain your information?

Please teach, check the rest of the article "Scientific American" and learn more about how technology changes our reading.

Like many investors, I am interested in how technologies change the way we interact with reading and writing. Scribd has a Netflix book model. Goodreads built a reading tool and a social network for the reader (although I am sorry to feel that it was acquired before achieving that vision). Wattpad is a platform for emerging writers and also allows readers to deeply engage with content. Medium is a publishing and reading network built for short / medium content. Spark supports Tumblr on the same day, the product I keep using (you are using it right now)
