Attention Spans and the Internet <Link to article.
The author discusses why and how the internet is altering our attention spans. Anna explains that the way we use Google could really hurt us in the long run. She claims that our current use of the Internet has taught us to "skim read" rather than reading the whole text. Anna took data from a few articles, one of which is the article by Nicholas Carr. This article is really useful as it provides more information about how our generation has taught ourselves to learn differently. Now, we need more than just plain text to keep our attention where it needs to be.
