Does the Brain Like E-Books? - Room for Debate Blog - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • They should be like the historical coffeehouses, taverns and pubs where one shifts flexibly between focused and collective reading — much like opening a newspaper and debating it in a more socially networked version of the current New York Times Room for Debate.

      Many websites like NewsVine seem to offer this kind of experience.
  • Still, people read more slowly on screen, by as much as 20-30 percent. Fifteen or 20 years ago, electronic reading also impaired comprehension compared to paper, but those differences have faded in recent studies.
  • Reading on screen requires slightly more effort and thus is more tiring, but the differences are small and probably matter only for difficult tasks.

  • In one study, workers switched tasks about every three minutes and took over 23 minutes on average to return to a task. Frequent task switching costs time and interferes with the concentration needed to think deeply about what you read.
  • After many years of research on how the human brain learns to read, I came to an unsettlingly simple conclusion: We humans were never born to read. We learn to do so by an extraordinarily ingenuous ability to rearrange our “original parts” — like language and vision, both of which have genetic programs that unfold in fairly orderly fashion within any nurturant environment. Reading isn’t like that.
  • And that, of course, is the problem at hand. No one really knows the ultimate effects of an immersion in a digital medium on the young developing brain. We do know a great deal, however, about the formation of what we know as the expert reading brain that most of us possess to this point in history
  • Hypertext offers loads of advantages. If while reading online you come across the name “Antaeus” and forget your Greek mythology, a hyperlink will take you directly to an online source where you are reminded that he was the Libyan giant who fought Hercules. And if you’re prone to distraction, you can follow another link to find out his lineage, and on and on. That is the duality of hyperlinks. A hyperlink brings you to information faster but is also more of a distraction.
  • floor. I once counted my books among my most prized possesions, now I wish I could somehow convert them all to digital files.
  • My book shelves are full, and books are stacked on the
  • Textbooks also require big double pages with margins for notes. Writing and reading are communication between writer and reader, the audience and genre (and thus expectations) are important, and the format and technology can be used for bad or good. One is not better than the other, they are different, and the more we know of the needs of writers and readers the better technology will become.
  • All of the commentators and responses miss a crucial question here: reading for what purpose?
  • To further complicate this, most of what I read for pleasure is about art or photography, and the kind of history that comes with cool pictures. If paper suddenly disappeared I'd be lost. Most of what I read for work has to be verified, cross referenced, fact-checked, etc. on a tight deadline. If the Internet suddenly disappeared, I'd be more than lost--I'd be paralyzed.
  • I also completely disagree that the web has killed editing. It has just changed the process to include the reader. It would be more accurate to say that it is killing the sanctity of Editors. 'Bout time, that.
  • The missing component in E-Reading seems to be the ability to critically grasp and evaluate the material. Learning is transmitted, but it is more linear than holistic. Now in my 70's, I find that reading from a monitor is a distancing experience. There is an intimacy to reading from a traditional book that is missing in the digital format.
  • Chinese reading circuits require more visual memory than alphabets.
  • I assume that technology will soon start moving in the natural direction: integrating chips into books, not vice versa.
  • important ongoing change to reading itself in today’s online environment is the cheapening of the word.
  • Hypertext offers loads of advantages.
  • When you read news, or blogs or fiction, you are reading one document in a networked maze
  • More and more, studies are showing how adept young people are at multitasking. But the extent to which they can deeply engage with the online material is a question for further research.
  • However, displays have vastly improved since then, and now with high resolution monitors reading speed is no different than reading from paper.

      Amy, I would use keepvid to download YouTube videos; save them as FLV files and upload to Prezi.  That way, you don't have to depend on Internet to play your video.

  • To set up the next area you want it to move to, click on that object. A circle with a 2 in it is placed on top of that area, and a line connects you from number 1 to number 2 so you can follow it. Continue clicking on objects until you have the path set up the way you want

10 Secret Twitter marketing hacks in 2021 - TrendsDesignHugger - 0 views

  •  
    Over the years, Twitter is now one of the web's most inventive and used services. It is easy to envision that one day Twitter will become an useful media with an average of 6,000 tweets every second. And you probably already know Twitter if you have been following the news for the last 10 years. In 2009, an American airline crashed into the hudson river and the platform became a heated issue. The mainstream media released the news. This is because But could you utilise Twitter as a marketing tool for businesses? And what actions can you take to benefit from this unique platform? It is possible to establish great brand relations and a successful Twitter marketing plan, but only if you take the correct steps and have the patience. It requires several experimenting and brainstorming sessions to decide your brand's ultimate path, but it's worth it. You need to know what's happening on Twitter before you start. So let's start. Let's start. Consider the current Secret Twitter Marketing Hacks and how the capacity to market your company through the platform is impacted. One of the greatest advantages for many businesses is their relatively modest size for a Twitter marketing plan. If Facebook can attract 2 billion active users, why are they using Twitter? The essential point is that it concentrates on growth and the numbers of users, which can only be explained by half. In comparison, the user base may be tiny, but Twitter provides a high level of brands involvement. Compared to Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. Briefly, your discussions are an indication of the importance of Twitter. Twitter users draw more social networking brands than any other website. More than three-quarters of Twitter users connect with Twitter and 83% believe that they are very much in touch with the companies with which they interact. So your prospective followers will listen to what you have to say, in order to establish a good climate for interactions with their followers. But th
