This document summarizes the negative impacts of technology on reading, writing, and education. It argues that electronic books and social media have shortened attention spans and promoted informal writing styles over formal literary works. Studies show more than half of students have been accidentally influenced by the informality of the internet in their school writing. While technology provides access to information, online reading does not progress logically and may not develop critical thinking skills like physical books. The document also raises concerns that digital books could be monopolized by corporations, limiting access, and that online databases of books could be hacked, compromising preservation of literary works. It argues for moderation of technology in education to promote traditional teaching practices involving human interaction.
Communicating with Students: What Technologies Should You Use?David Compton
The document discusses communication technologies that should be used to reach students, particularly prospective college students aged 16-20. It analyzes print media, email, and digital/social media. While print was traditionally important, reading has declined significantly as students spend more time online. Email is widely used but has drawbacks like requiring prompt responses and potential for miscommunication. Digital media like social networks have become highly popular ways for students to get information, but content must be engaging to stand out. The best approach is a cross-platform strategy using multiple technologies.
Intentional Use of Technology in 21st Century Teaching & LearningBen Kahn
This document discusses the challenges of technology integration in education in the digital age. It argues that while information is freely available online, students must learn to focus their attention and intentionally use technology for learning. Some educators worry that ubiquitous screens distract from learning, but banning tech is not the answer. Schools must thoughtfully integrate technology to prepare students for the modern world and cultivate digital literacy, while also teaching attention skills. The intentional and purposeful use of technology, guided by educators, can enhance learning when implemented correctly.
The Future Of Human Computer Interaction And Its Implications For Library Ser...Matthew Hamilton
This was my first presentation for my first MLS class, LI802. Essentially it was an introduction for non-techie, brand new MLS students about the need to understand technology and the changes it will bring not only in user expectations, but in information use as well.
The document discusses the author's journey in critically examining the impact of technology on teaching and learning. It describes an experience where the author got too immersed in social media and neglected reading to her daughter, prompting her to reflect more deeply. The author outlines several assumptions she had about technology, including that it is neutral and that multitasking and more information lead to better outcomes. She cites research showing these assumptions are often untrue and that technology can change how our minds work.
This document summarizes and responds to Amy Goldwasser's article "What's the Matter with Kids Today?". The author agrees with Goldwasser that the internet has a positive influence on today's youth, not the negative influence claimed by older generations. The internet allows youth to read and write freely online, access information instantly, and use social media to communicate and share opinions. While technology is criticized by some older people, youth are more open to technological changes that enhance learning. The internet provides knowledge and gives youth a voice in society.
This document discusses the changing nature of books and libraries in the digital age. It notes that ebooks are outselling print books and will soon outsell paperbacks, and that many library users are now accessing services virtually through mobile devices. It suggests that within three years, the majority of library use, non-fiction circulation, and learning will be virtual. It emphasizes that librarians must help users develop new literacies to navigate this changing information landscape and ensure libraries continue to meet community needs.
This document discusses communication tools that can be used when recruiting new college students. It focuses on print media, email, and digital/social media. Print media is declining in use among teenagers who are increasingly using digital media like the internet and social platforms for over 2 hours per day. While print still has value for providing tangible information, email is widely used but lacks nonverbal context and students may not check or have access to the emailed information. Digital media like social platforms are best for quick updates but content must be concise and engaging to attract students. The document evaluates the benefits and limitations of each tool to determine the most effective options for recruiting the target 16-20 year old demographic.
The document discusses the increasing availability of information and knowledge online due to declining costs of bandwidth, storage, and processing. It focuses on Google's ambitious project to scan millions of books from partners like universities and make their contents searchable online. While this could make vast amounts of knowledge accessible, some raise concerns about a single company controlling so much information and issues with quality of scans. Alternative projects aim to expand access to knowledge through open resources and digital textbooks.

This document discusses the impact of digital technology on Montessori education. It notes that several early technology pioneers supported Dr. Montessori's methods. While technology has advanced greatly since her time, there is little research on how it affects learning. Some findings suggest digital devices capture children's attention but not necessarily their engagement. The document calls for more observation of how children interact with technology to understand its role in development and whether it could enhance Montessori education.
The document discusses the evolution and impact of the internet over time through various quotes from experts and observers. It touches on early skepticism of the internet followed by its rise in popularity. Various impacts are discussed such as empowerment, social and economic changes, new forms of communication, and both benefits and concerns around areas like privacy, distraction, and surveillance. Overall it presents a wide range of perspectives on both the promises and challenges of the emerging internet.
Technology has led to a decline in literacy skills according to the document. People are reading less and looking at screens more, resulting in drops in critical thinking and vocabulary. While a new form of literacy dependent on computers may emerge, individuals will lose existing skills. This is shown in decreasing workplace skills. If this trend continues, future generations may have difficulty communicating clearly in writing or speech. Literacy itself may shift entirely to computer-based skills, losing currently existing abilities. As the current young generation progresses with technology, the loss of traditional literacy skills could increasingly hinder society and the workplace.
The document discusses how libraries and education must change strategies to adapt to 21st century needs. It notes the shift from physical collections and buildings to digital content access and online communities. Transliteracy skills are emphasized over basic reading. Mobility and ubiquitous broadband access are changing user expectations and behaviors. Ebooks and e-readers are discussed as part of the transition from printed books. Strategic use of analytics and understanding user experiences are presented as ways to improve virtual library services and ensure learning and discovery are occurring for users. An emphasis is placed on partnerships and embracing change rather than relying on past strategies.
near field interactions with the internet of thingsBoni
The document discusses bootstrapping the internet of things using Bluetooth scanning on cell phones to detect nearby devices. Currently, scanning provides an overview of all nearby objects but is a slow process, and the detected devices are essentially just names without identities or histories. The author proposes using QR codes or NFC tags on objects to allow faster focusing on individual items. This would help turn the detected devices into true interactive "things" that are part of an internet of objects and allow two-way communication between phones and nearby physical objects.
The document discusses how students today are "digital natives" who are fluent in technology from a young age, unlike older "digital immigrants" who learned technology later in life. It provides examples of how different family members use technology and believes schools should teach students how to use the tools they are already familiar with for academic purposes.
This document summarizes a presentation on the evolution of libraries given by Stephen Abram. It addresses questions about whether libraries are at risk of becoming obsolete and how they must change and adapt to new technologies and user needs. Key points discussed include how users, collections, mobility, and the role of libraries have significantly changed; challenges like ebooks outpacing print; and opportunities for libraries to stay relevant through embracing new formats, building knowledge portals, and enhancing discovery of library resources online. The presentation argues that libraries must keep up with rapid changes and work as a team to better understand users and ensure they are successful and satisfied.
Hodges literacy and today’s technnology presentationVirginia Hodges
Virginia Hodges presented on the topic of literacy and today's technology. The presentation defined literacy as the ability to read and write and discussed how education should provide students with technological familiarity, literacy, mathematics skills, and learning how to learn in the information age. The document suggested that libraries are key to learning in technological environments and should be designed innovatively to encourage literacy for kids and teens. Technology was presented as a motivating factor for students.
The intentional use of technology in 21st century teaching and learningBen Kahn
This essay examines the role of the educational system in knowledge dissemination in light of increasingly pervasive information networks and connected devices. Information of all kinds is becoming much more easily accessible; at the same time concerns that young people are distracted by ubiquitous screens and overly immersed in digital entertainment and social media are mounting. Ultimately, this paper argues that technology integration is crucial to prepare students to become successful, engaged, effective citizens who effectively use the power of networks to participate in society. To support this need, curriculum should be designed to develop student’s attentional capacity and to emphasize the deliberate and intentional use of technology.
School libraries are at the heart of a new digital learning nexus. Our world changed in April 1993 when the Mosaic 1.0 browser was released to the general public. The challenges we face are equally creative as they are complex. What is your focus for tomorrow?
The document discusses One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), a non-profit that provides laptops to children in developing countries to promote digital literacy and education. It outlines OLPC's mission to give children access to information and a way to connect globally. It then describes OLPC's objectives like child ownership of laptops, a focus on ages 6-12, saturating communities with laptops, and using open-source free software. The document proposes a distributed database model in the cloud to allow volunteer tutors to access students' educational progress from any location. This will help expand OLPC's programs as they provide laptops to more countries.
This document discusses academic literacy and how to engage the digital generation in academic literacy. It provides definitions of academic literacy and explains why it is important. It then discusses the characteristics of the digital generation and how they differ from previous generations in how they learn, communicate, and search for information using technologies like Google. Some research studies are summarized that explore how the digital generation searches for information online and what challenges those with low literacy may face. The document advocates for rethinking how universities teach to better engage the digital generation.
The Impact of Social Networks on Tertiary Educationiosrjce
Since the inception of the Internet and the integration of email technology into our personal and
work lives especially in academics, our ways of communication began to metamorphose. The Internet, which is
consortium computer networks, is transforming educational processes and interpersonal communication
especially through Social Networks. Young people, born into a world of laptops and cell phones, text messaging
and tweeting, continually spend time exposed to digital technology and streaming so much that they perhaps
experience fundamentally different brain development that favors constant communication and multitasking.
Although what is been done by the common ought to be seen as the norm, a popular opinion believes that Social
Networks serve only as distractions to academic achievement by school-age people. Two multiple regression
analyses were done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences computer software which analyzed the
responses of students to questionnaire. It is seen that students who spend more time on Social Networks end up
not having enough Study Time, and so affects their academic achievements. Since Social Network is very
common in our society today, what matters to us now is how Social Networks are used than how much they are
used.
This thesis examines language and social interaction within internet subcultures, using the online game World of Warcraft as a case study. The thesis combines theories from English and Communication to analyze how English is used as a lingua franca and how virtual communication platforms can enable alternative forms of interaction. While the internet provides new opportunities for expression, it also presents challenges regarding unchecked information and rapid cultural changes. The speed and interactivity of online spaces allow for emergent subcultures to form and spread more quickly than in physical communities. Overall, the thesis aims to study an internet subculture through the lenses of both its linguistic features and social dynamics.

Electronic publishing (or e-publishing) involves the digital publication and distribution of books, magazines, journals and other media online. It has become common in academic publishing where journals are increasingly made available electronically. The document traces the history of e-publishing from its origins in the 1980s with plain text emails sent to subscribers, to the growth of digital libraries and online publishing enabled by the internet and technologies like CD-ROMs and PDFs. It discusses both the advantages of e-publishing such as rapid publication and global access, as well as challenges around issues of piracy, copyright and user preferences for print.
The document discusses how technology is influencing education. It notes that eBooks are becoming more prevalent in schools with tablets and e-readers. It also explains that textbooks are becoming more interactive, including web-based assessments, animations and videos. The document additionally mentions that chalkboards are disappearing as gaming and web-based tools now teach content that was once taught through chalkboards and paper. It concludes by thanking the reader for their time.
The document discusses the many changes impacting school libraries, including changes in students, books, media, mobility, and collections. It notes that everything connected to the library world is changing rapidly due to advances in technology and shifts in user behaviors and expectations.

Steve McQueen is a British filmmaker known for works that depict human struggle in extreme situations. He was born in London to Grenadian immigrants and experienced racial discrimination and poverty as a child. These experiences influenced his filmmaking career. McQueen's early video art installations like Bear and Western Deep relied on visual and sensory elements to immerse viewers. His first feature, Hunger, told the story of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands but focused on depicting the shared humanity in all people. McQueen's later film Shame explored sex addiction in a similar humanistic style through camerawork and sound. Throughout his career, McQueen aims to provoke thought in viewers rather than commit them to political stances by prioritizing visual story

The document discusses the impact of the internet on reading habits. While the internet provides a wealth of information, it has also negatively impacted traditional reading. Some of the negative impacts include diverting attention from one source to another, overuse of social media by teenagers leaving little time for reading books, and health issues from excessive screen time. However, the internet is also a valuable tool for learning and research. Overall, physical reading of books is still better than reading online due to the internet's potential for distraction and inability to replace libraries and printed materials.
Olivia Porter: Digital Research Presentationoliviaprter
The document discusses the history and evolution of hypertext and its implications for literacy. It outlines three waves of hypertext development and argues that traditional understandings of literacy are inadequate for digital discourse. The author advocates redefining literacy based on navigation through nodes and links in a hypertextual archive, rather than print-based definitions of literacy. Examples are provided of early and modern hypertext applications like Wikipedia and an online story. The document questions how education can enable critical participation in an increasingly mediated world.

The Negative Impact Of Technology And Science
In 21 century, the development of science and technology to promote the progress of human race. The science and technology make human has the new and beautiful life. Without technology, you wouldn’t receive a message from thousands of miles in a second; without technology, you would waste a whole day in the library to find information for your report; without technology, you only can watch recent news from the newspaper. The beginning of any kind of science and technology was to serve the purpose of human social development. However, due to the limitations of human knowledge and practice, the adverse consequences are always accompanied; when we take advantages of one thing, the disadvantages follow. Science and technology promote the progress of contemporary society. While promoting social development, it also brings with it a series of negative effects such as the deterioration of the ecological environment, spiritual crisis, moral crisis, and survival crisis. Because of the different considerations and pursuits of people's interests, and the improper use of science and technology, there have been many negative results. Generally speaking, the all-around distortion of science and technology in human society is destroying our social and spiritual world.
One of the negative impacts of science and technology is on the social environment. With the guidance and help of science and technology, the transformation and influence of people on nature are getting bigger and bigger. With the continuous expansion of human social economic scale and industrial scale, the negative impact of science and technology on the social environment has become increasingly apparent. There are many environmental issues caused by technology, “among the claimed negative effects of technology are global warming, ozone depletion, air and water pollution, species depletion and extinction, acid rain, overpopulation, deforestation, and radioactive and other toxic and nontoxic waste” (Karian). For example, advanced technology has developed the plastic that is convenient for people's lives. With the acceleration of the pace of life and the improvement of living standards, the amount of plastics is increasing day by day. At present, waste plastic has reached more than one-third of the waste, and it has greatly increased the difficulty and cost of waste disposal. “As plastic is non-biodegradable in nature, it remains in environment for several years” (Manuel), for this reason, if discarded waste plastic in the natural environment, it will provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes, flies and bacteria; if buried it underground, it will easily pollute groundwater, hinder plant root growth, destroy soil quality, and affect crop yield; if fired waste plastic, it will produce a variety of toxic gases. In addition, modern science and technology have led to a huge expansi ...

Argumentative Essay On Modern Technology
The document discusses several ways that internet use can negatively impact adolescents. It argues that internet has contributed to a decline in education among adolescents by promoting the use of "chat language" in writing. It also asserts that internet reduces morality by giving easy access to pornography and normalizing behaviors like homosexuality. The document further claims that internet reduces thinking capacity by encouraging plagiarism and exam cheating as adolescents copy information directly from online sources without understanding it. It posits that internet use reduces face-to-face communication as adolescents rely more on online communication through social media on their phones.
This document provides an agenda for an argument analysis class. It includes instructions for students to analyze arguments from the previous class and provide feedback on which are well-argued and viable. Students will then work in groups of three to formulate a new visual-verbal argument for or against the death of print. Their arguments will be emailed to the professor. The rest of class time will be spent working on preliminary storyboards for an upcoming project, which students must complete and bring to their upcoming individual conferences with the professor.
Digital literacy has not increased literacy skills. While technology allows easier access to information, overreliance on tools like spellcheck can lead to poorer writing abilities as people are less likely to proofread their own work. Some experts argue schools should continue teaching cursive writing as it helps develop important literacy skills, but others believe emphasis should be placed on technology. Overall, a balanced approach that incorporates both traditional literacy skills and technology is important for student development.
The social media world is not flat. There are new lands beyond the continent of Facebook. The New world has riches, romance, opportunities, fame, and some say the secrets to eternal youth. Buy also beware! There are rumors of Medussas whose siren song will lure you in to her lair so that you will crash upon the rocks, serpents called worms that will entangle your ship and control your course, viruses that will make you and your crew sea sick, trojan ships that will approach you with free goods that hold spies that will live among you, pirate ships that will steal your goods and ask you to join in their skullduggery by trading in illegal goods, and Cyclops who will train their evil eye on you to suck out your soul and rob your privacy.
But as entrepid explorers you must put aside your fears and push out into the unknown. Forewarned is forearmed! Seek your destiny!
Influence of technology in teaching, future shock and parents 30 years agoMary Grace Aguiñot
1) The document discusses how technology has influenced teaching and education. It provides various examples of how technology has changed the way students communicate, research, learn, and complete assignments.
2) It explains how technologies like smartphones, tablets, the internet, and online tools have made textbooks digital, replaced physical note passing and binders, and allowed for new forms of interactive learning and extended classroom communities.
3) The rise of technologies is argued to better meet the needs of diverse learners and facilitate new ways of teaching content through multimedia and virtual environments, representing a significant shift from traditional chalkboard-based instruction.
The document discusses how technology may be negatively impacting traditional families. It argues that the percentage of children living in traditional families has decreased from 77% in 1980 to 66% in 2010, and that technology is a primary underlying cause of this change. Specifically, it claims that technology weakens family camaraderie, natural communication, and personal connection by drawing family members' attention away from each other and encouraging isolated activities. It also suggests technology inhibits the development of important social and communication skills.
The document discusses the debate around the role of computers in education. It summarizes the arguments made by technological optimists who believe computers and the Internet will revolutionize education, providing unlimited access to information and new forms of distance learning. However, the document argues that in reality, equal access to technology is still limited, finding useful information online can be difficult, and distance learning is unlikely to appeal to most students. While computers can expand learning, they also promote superficial thinking, isolate students, and may primarily benefit commercial and educational institutions rather than students themselves. Overall, the document concludes that computers have not yet realized their promised potential to transform education and that excellence still depends on traditional methods like reading, study, and good teaching.
Thanks in part to efficient search engines such as Google, on-line reading has become for many the primary way that people read. This talk will discuss how a wide range of research in web usability, psychology, education, and communication theory provides corroborating evidence that on-line reading is transforming cognition, learning, and the very nature of knowledge in some disturbing ways.
The Reading Brain in the Digital Age The Science of Paper v.docxhelen23456789
The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The
Science of Paper versus Screens
E-readers and tablets are becoming more popular as such technologies improve, but research
suggests that reading on paper still boasts unique advantages
• By Ferris Jabr on April 11, 2013
[Note: all text underlined represents hyperlinks to web-based sources of information.]
In a viral YouTube video from October 2011 a one-year-old girl sweeps her fingers across an
iPad's touchscreen, shuffling groups of icons. In the following scenes she appears to pinch,
swipe and prod the pages of paper magazines as though they too were screens. When nothing
happens, she pushes against her leg, confirming that her finger works just fine—or so a title
card would have us believe.
The girl's father, Jean-Louis Constanza, presents "A Magazine Is an iPad That Does Not Work"
as naturalistic observation—a Jane Goodall among the chimps moment—that reveals a
generational transition. "Technology codes our minds," he writes in the video's description.
"Magazines are now useless and impossible to understand, for digital natives"—that is, for
people who have been interacting with digital technologies from a very early age.
Perhaps his daughter really did expect the paper magazines to respond the same way an iPad
would. Or maybe she had no expectations at all—maybe she just wanted to touch the
magazines. Babies touch everything. Young children who have never seen a tablet like the iPad
or an e-reader like the Kindle will still reach out and run their fingers across the pages of a paper
book; they will jab at an illustration they like; heck, they will even taste the corner of a book.
Today's so-called digital natives still interact with a mix of paper magazines and books, as well
as tablets, smartphones and e-readers; using one kind of technology does not preclude them
from understanding another.
Nevertheless, the video brings into focus an important question: How exactly does the
technology we use to read change the way we read? How reading on screens differs from
reading on paper is relevant not just to the youngest among us, but to just about everyone who
reads—to anyone who routinely switches between working long hours in front of a computer at
the office and leisurely reading paper magazines and books at home; to people who have
embraced e-readers for their convenience and portability, but admit that for some reason they
still prefer reading on paper; and to those who have already vowed to forgo tree pulp entirely.
As digital texts and technologies become more prevalent, we gain new and more mobile ways
of reading—but are we still reading as attentively and thoroughly? How do our brains respond
differently to onscreen text than to words on paper? Should we be worried about dividing our
attention between pixels and ink or is the validity of such concerns paper-thin?
Since at least the 1980s researchers in many different fields—including psychology.
The document discusses how technology may be negatively impacting traditional families. It argues that technology draws family members' time and attention to individual pursuits, reducing quality time together and weakening family bonds. While technology enables communication, interactions tend to be superficial compared to natural in-person conversations. Prolonged technology use is linked to declines in social skills and increases in loneliness and depression. The document expresses concern that children growing up with ubiquitous technology will struggle to develop strong communication skills and relationships.
The future of ebooks. Everything ebooks will do (that can’t be done in print)Jimena Catalina Gayo
It's no news that ebooks are disrupting the publishing industry. But, are we doing everything that can be done to take advantage of their new capabilities?
Pitfalls of Social MediaSome disadvantages of social network.docxrandymartin91030
Pitfalls of Social Media
Some disadvantages of social networking are addiction, friendships, and how it can become a distraction. According to an article in the Huffington Post by Britney Fitzgerald, “forty-five percent of responders said they feel “worried or uncomfortable” when email and Facebook are inaccessible.” Now-a-days society has gotten so dependent to their social networking; they cannot even leave their house without taking their phones or laptops to school. People cannot stand to be without their phones without having anxiety, we need to establish a control over the technology. “It’s not being on social networks that makes people anxious. It’s being away from them.” We have grown into this new culture where we cannot even go to sleep without checking our phones, and what is the first thing we do when we wake up? Check our phone. In fact, in a recent study Mobile Mindset study by Lookout “54 percent admit to checking their phones while lying in bed.” The unfortunate price we pay for social networking is lack of sleep. A similar study from the University of Bergen found that “people with poor sleeping habits were most likely to be Facebook-obsessed.” It has become apparent that one has created this dependency on modern technology that we have added these aps such as Facebook and YouTube to our cell phones, since we cannot even wait to get home and check from our computers. We don’t even send invitations anymore; all we do is send a Facebook invite.
Another article in the Huffington Post, The Addiction and Cost of Social Media by Sam Fiaorella he states that “if you are not paying for the product, you are the product.” In this case social networking, the Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, they are all free however, you are wasting time, emotion and privacy. “According to Nielsen and NM Incite's The Social Media Report 2012, “consumers continue to spend more time on social networks than on any other type of Internet site.” “As of July 2012, the total time spent accessing and engaging in social media sites has increased 37 percent in the U.S., representing 121 billion minutes.”
Emotionally we put our lives out there on social networking. We are willing to share everything we do on a daily basis and post our feelings. We create an “online version of ourselves” in which we are able to let people see and know any “version” we allow ourselves to be. “A study by the University of Waterloo as reported in Psychological Science demonstrated that Facebook engagement can increase the likelihood of depression in some people.”
Privacy is often a forgotten factor in social networking; people seem to forget that whatever they post online can follow them throughout life. Some jobs even check your social sites to make sure you are right for the job. Social networks keep track what you are interested in, you may think its because they want to learn more about you however, “the more personal the information they can acquire the more they can .
Librarians play a vital role in connecting people with information and knowledge to support learning. The document discusses several opportunities for librarians, such as advocating for creativity and collaboration. It also notes that people's information needs and preferences are changing with technological advances, and libraries must adapt to continue meeting these new needs. The key role of libraries is to support community, learning, research, and cultural preservation through providing access to knowledge and resources.
The document discusses several issues related to technology use among students described as Generation M or Millennials. It notes that they spend significant time using technology for entertainment and are highly skilled at multitasking with devices. However, some research suggests heavy technology and media use can negatively impact students' social skills, attention spans, and learning. It also explores ways students sometimes inappropriately use technology for cheating and discusses the stress that constant technology use can place on students.

The Fate of the Written Word
EBooks, or electronic books, have become increasingly popular, more so than printed
books, rendering libraries useless. At the same time, the Internet has captured the attention spans
of the youth, which is much different compared to generations of the past who spent time in
creative worlds manifested from literature. Technology has altered the value of books and
reading. Now, in exchange for classic narratives, instant messages on social-networking sites
have become the source for gossip. Our brains have even changed the way we process
information read from a screen, which is dangerous considering it has become more popular than
reading from a traditional paper book. And although the advent of electronic media has made
communication and information easier to access, the safety of classic literary works on an
electronic platform is compromised at the hands of hackers. Many believe that technology is
revolutionizing the way we live for the better however if the safety issues and negative influence
it has on reading, writing, and understanding affects us detrimentally then we should prevent
technology from digitizing books and instead realize the importance of physical literature.
It’s shocking that a majority of today’s youth write more online than for educational
purposes. They have familiarized themselves with the informal jargon associated with texting,
instant messaging, emailing, and status updates rather than the formal storylines of classic
novels. Popularized social-networking websites like Facebook and Twitter spread informal
writing across the web. A report published in 2010 by Clarion University shows social media and
2. Pausanos 2
text messages are "consistently associated with the use of particularly informal written
communication techniques, along with formatting problems, nonstandard orthography, and
grammatical errors."(Pacheco 2012) This literary epidemic is serious and often overlooked. K.C.
Jones supplies us with the growing number of students affected by technology’s negative
influence in his article “ ‘LOL’ Slips Into Homework”. His research concluded that:
While 73% of teens said their personal electronic communications do not impact
school writing and 77% said they have no impact on their personal writing, 64%
of teens admitted they use informal writing styles in school work, 50% said they
used informal punctuation and grammar. Many of the respondents said they used
those informal styles accidentally. (Jones 2011)
The fact that more than half of students have been affected by Internet’s informality is staggering
but to know that they have done it accidentally is alarming. It’s as if technology is stunting the
growth of student potential.
Despite technology’s role in the deterioration of formal language, many believe that
devices such as eBooks hold the power to a new way we perceive novels. In her article “The
Book Tomorrow: Future of the Written Word” Janet Murray considers this is the case as she
argues that future eBooks will feature an interactive network of information meant, “to create a
focus for sustained shared attention”(Murray 2011). However, in order to create a “focus” an
adequate attention span is required. A study featured in Alan Greenblatt’s article “Impact of the
Internet on Thinking” reveals that “young children and college students who exceeded a two-
hour-per-day limit on watching television and playing video games had a harder time paying
3. Pausanos 3
attention in class.”(Greenblatt 2011) With the attention spans of the youth already diminishing
Murray’s argument in favor of eBooks seems unconvincing. In this example we see that, in
addition to the web’s informality, television and video games have a role in the harmful impact
of technology on the way we read, write and perceive information.
Written text is both useful for sharpening our minds and safer than screened devices in
maintaining the regularity of brain functions. In Greenblatt’s article mentioned earlier, Stanford
psychiatrist and researcher Elias Aboujaoude exposes the threat online reading poses to our
understanding of information revealing how:
Eye-tracking experiments suggest that online reading does not progress in a
“logical” way but unfolds like a giant-font letter “F” superimposed on the page.
Users read in a horizontal movement across the upper part; move toward the
bottom and read across in a second horizontal movement; then scan the left side in
a quick vertical glance online reading seems just as foreign as online writing.
(Greenblatt 2011)
It’s no wonder why the attention spans of users have shortened; online-reading yields
significantly less value to writing, if any at all. Maryanne Wolf, director of Tufts University
Center for Reading and Language Research concludes that books “bring our own [lives] to the
text” while “the new format will reward moving on quickly to the next thing rather than holding
onto a thought.”(Clemmitt 2008) Books actively involve the reader’s attention while screens
force our eyes to mindlessly scan over text. The physical book has greater standing over
4. Pausanos 4
technology because of the value it brings to language. It instills the familiarity of formal writing,
enhances our brain activity, and is overall a safer means of attaining information.
Despite the benefits that written text offer, no ground is being made in its preservation. If
we fail to realize the importance of books and eBooks become the normal platform for reading
then we would be letting corporate America regulate what we read. Its not just that physical
books will disappear if we do not safeguard them, but the stories and information that they
communicate will also be lost if corporations take over. For example, Google has shown their
interest in monopolizing the market by exploiting eBooks for their digital freedom by scanning
libraries full of literature for their use. In her article “Future of Books”, Sarah Glazer reveals that
“Google's Book Search engine [will] make entire copyrighted books available online for a
fee”(Glazer 2011) which is ludicrous considering Google scanned the books at public libraries
where said literature would be free to read. So if eBooks replace physical novels we may not be
able to access the great works of our past due to money. If technology gets to the point in which
all books are stored on a digital database owned by corporate America then we are looking
forward to a world with limited knowledge. Not only because of money will we lose classic
stories and information but safety is also a huge concern for the digital age.
Hackers are constantly getting better at tapping into complex firewalls, so what is
stopping them from hacking into an eBook database where the last versions of novels reside?
Storing the content of millions of books in a digital database is incredibly insecure. In Marcia
Clemmitt’s article “Computer Hacking” she references the “international protest group
Anonymous [that] shut down government and corporate websites” to show just how powerful
hackers can be. She also reports “thefts of money and information via hacked computers are on
the rise worldwide, with hundreds of billions in losses annually.”(Clemmitt 2011) If
5. Pausanos 5
governments can’t even withstand attacks by hackers then corporations trying to protect eBooks
could easily fall. The rise in technology will be the end of the written word if nothing is done to
keep it safe.
The main force of technology running physical books into the ground is the eBook
industry. Its very surprising that in July 2010 “the publishing world marked a milestone…when
word shot ’round the exploding array of digital news-reading gadgets that e-books — for the first
time ever — had outsold hardcover books on Amazon.com” This statistic is proof of a
discouraging truth: addiction. Generations of the 21st century are addicted to technology. Our
dependence on devices is a negative affect of technology and as Alisa Rustic states in her article
“Dependence on Technology Increases in Teens” technology such as the Internet and cellphones
“can reduce the efficiency of one’s communication or speaking skills”(Rustic 2011). EBooks
contribute to this negative influence. Instead of kids reading text on paper in books, they are
damaging their ability to communicate properly by reading from screens. If anything technology
should advance the younger generations not degenerate them. Technology like EBooks may have
the potential to put all the world’s information on one device but the risks they present limit them
from becoming a practical tool in education the way books are.
Books have always been used as learning tools throughout education. English teachers
use famous and classic novels to emphasize literary devices or themes, math teachers use books
to give visual representations to a particular methods; education is based from books. Of course
the Internet can provide the same information but with the growing dependence on technology
many believe technology should be moderated in school because of its negative influence on
traditional teaching practices. Clifford Stoll clarifies the conflict in Christopher Conte’s article
“Networking the Classroom” by writing:
6. Pausanos 6
All of us want children to experience warmth, human interaction, the thrill of
discovery and solid grounding in essentials: reading, getting along with others,
training in civic values. Only a teacher, live in the classroom, can bring about this
inspiration. This can't happen over a speaker, a television or a computer screen.
(Conte 2011)
Human interaction is important in a child’s understanding of any subject matter in school.
Teachers get to know their students and with this information they are able to personally help
them surpass any obstacle they meet. Technology has a place in education but more computer
screens in classrooms are not the answer. If we emphasize books and their importance then we
can safely moderate the influence of technology in the classroom and students will help to
preserve the written word.
Libraries also play crucial role in education but like the classroom, libraries face
technology’s pressure as well. Public libraries educate the masses by offering books, videos, and
Internet. They are the home to countless works of literature for free. Regardless of their
hospitality, libraries are suffering from technology’s dominance. Here is a statistic from Barbara
Mantel’s article “Future of Libraries” that will put this into perspective:
More than 90 percent of Americans own a cell phone, up from about 66 percent in
2005, and a quarter of those phones are now “smartphones” capable of searching
the Internet and displaying video, an increase of more than 1,000 percent. And in
just six months, the share of U.S. adults who own an e-book reader, such as an
7. Pausanos 7
Amazon Kindle or Barnes & Noble Nook, has doubled to 12 percent. (Mantel
2011)
The rise in technology is causing libraries to become useless thus making physical books useless.
Many libraries are closing because of this complication. Without libraries how will people who
can’t afford expensive devices be informed? Without libraries how will the written word
survive? We need to realize the importance of libraries because if they become extinct so could
the future physical literature.
Technology is a double-edged sword by letting us have information in the palms of our
hands but its negative influence on libraries, schools, health and formal writing damages the
safety, and the fate of physical texts. Books still have a place in the world and so does
technology but literature has the upmost value in moderating our dependence on technology. If
we can peal people away from their screens and let them realize the importance of physical
literature then the negative influence of technology can decrease.
