Srikar's WRA-110 Website

  While I don't know if it was intentional or not, I found it clever that the article tested its own theory that the internet and search engines are making people unable to concentrate through lengthy works of literature and interpret in-depth writings. Truth be told, I found myself staring to skim when I was about halfway through the article. This main idea is supported by many theories which were created by high ranking scholars, other articles and papers, and the author himself.

  The type of audience this article is most likely directed towards is one which consists of internet enthusiasts who use internet search engines for nearly all research and activity. The author wants to educate his audience about the disadvantages or perils of using this technique.

  As I have stated before, I noticed myself starting to skim when I was about halfway through this article. During the summer after my high school graduation, I decided to try and learn the programming language C++ and to brush up on my skills in Java. I had multiple books on C++ which all had excellent reviews. The problem arose about 10 pages into the book when my mind started to wander. After dragging my concentration back to the book, I started to wander after about five pages. After two days of this I finally gave up on the books and started using Google. There, I typed in what I wanted to know and I looked for a simple answer which was also short enough so I wouldn't have to concentrate for a long time. The same thing also happened when I tried reading a favorite book of mine a few days ago.
