I remember the first time I ever saw a website. It was yahoo.com on Internet Explorer version something. The connection was dial up and it took at least 2 to 5 minutes to load the webpage.
Now I have DSL and Firefox 3. I have iGoogle and its RSS showing ability and have a gajillion tabs with a gajillion stories I could open in new tabs.
Not that I am complaining but I have begun noticing that all these 'interesting' tabs make me want to view them quickly. I don't read the complete articles anymore but chomp and gobble through them. Scanning seems to be a more appropriate word.
I scan.
Specially if the article is not that well written, I just tend to stop reading the whole article altogether and "move on" to other tabs.
Do you still read the whole article?

ReplyDeleteThese days it's really a struggle to really concentrate on an article.
And time can really fly while browsing every information that is out there.
But we should, no? I can't even remember the last time I picked up a book (made of paper) and finished it. It is affecting the way I process information. It made me impatient about getting information about other things. Living life in the fast lane sort of makes us forget to appreciate a lot of things.
