I'm not sure if I would blame the Internet - perhaps it has simply altered the way we think but not for better or worse. It may be worth further study to find out if there are benefits to jumping from one idea to another as opposed to maintaining one sustained thought. My guess would be that the positive result is a connection Angela Seitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16731056624814996606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518819595705026383.post-84865558946724178722009-01-09T22:53:00.000-08:002009-01-09T22:53:00.000-08:00Perhaps the internet has influenced our attention ...Perhaps the internet has influenced our attention spans. I think many people have trouble getting through pieces of literature. We are so used to quick and to the point writing. Text messaging, Twitter, blogs, newspapers, and many more sources don't tend to be long. we don't read something long outside of class much.
