I think it's part of many things that we have to guard against as we spend more and more time on the internet.<BR/><BR/>And I think it's important that we learn and apply proper research techniques when we use information from the internet, such as three corroborating sources, etc.<BR/><BR/>I've always been a reader and I don't expect that to change. I still look at reading books as something completely different than reading online. My approach to each type of reading is still different.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30988056.post-58197616996245726382008-07-26T18:43:00.000-04:002008-07-26T18:43:00.000-04:00I started to read this, but it was so long.

That's how the world has changed for me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30988056.post-27964707832918470712008-07-26T16:02:00.000-04:002008-07-26T16:02:00.000-04:00Ugh.

Then I went and read up a little about Alan Turing on Wikipedia, which led me to cryptography, which reminded me of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, which reminded me about his seminal book Snow Crash and I wondered if anyone was making a movie so I Googled it. Then I watched a couple trailers and hung around on Facebook.<BR/><BR/>Then I finished the article. ;)Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497045412007902460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30988056.post-8511661916043634642008-07-26T14:41:00.000-04:002008-07-26T14:41:00.000-04:00I have this experience too, Mary.
