Web Readers

Nielsen’s description or explanation of the way individuals read or scan the web is very relatable to me because I prefer to actually hold literature and feel the turning of pages. It is not a must but if it is not in my hands, I do not give it much effort or attention as it does not seem important. 

When asked to take notes from the web, I do not print out the article but I do handwrite my notes in a pad. Reading and writing on or from the web does not seem as personal and requires an extra effort to create the desired results for me. It is a very weird thing that I cannot aptly explain it this all makes any sense.

I read the webpage as required but it is not my preferred method of reading. I do not recall ever highlighting anything on a webpage as I read because I really do not give internet reading the time to find something worth highlighting. 

Online reading has affected my print reading per say but it has made me appreciate a sturdy book. There is just something about paper. I understand that online literature is more economical as related to the saving of trees and etcetera but books are timeless. Though they are perishable, a book defies time and if preserved, can last many lifetimes and civilizations over. The internet age is just the need fad but I am sure there will be something to replace eBooks and the sorts soon.
