My initial reaction to this article was that many including myself can definitely agree with this comment "And what the net seems to be doing is chipping away at my capacity for concentration and contemplation." And what resonates with me about that comment is that as is further explained in the story is that everyday people are attempting to "Power Browse" or "Skim" a segment or article as fast as they can. I will often find myself doing that with any article that I don't particularly want to read or doesn't interest me at the time. It is already happening on the internet where many people will only read the intro to a blog or news article and this is the calling for that, whether it is today's lack of interest for a certain subject or current objection or it is simply that we are too lazy to even turn another page because we simply want to move on. Another scapegoat to reading is texting and creating a shorter way to say something as Maryanne Wolf describes we are putting "efficiency" and "immediacy" above all. All of that comes with today's standards for communicating with each other it's not because were beginning to slowly lack concentration or becoming more stupid it is because of our surroundings and what they create for us. In the end it all comes down to our society has become so obsessed with completing one checkpoint a cruising on to the next one we have engulfed ourselves into the need of doing justice by getting it done fast and not by getting it done right.
