February 12, 201016 yr Author I don't trust your judgement as you couldn't tell when someone was making a blatant joke and you took it as a compliment. Get back on the slow bus. Yet another example. I think it's pretty clear to anyone when someone's making a blatant joke, as it tends to be blatantly obvious. You can't even be sure when somebody's taking something 100% seriously, either, unless you're able to read minds or something. Therefore most of what you can say can only be assumption, which fails on many levels, and therefore should be avoided wherever possible.;)
February 12, 201016 yr The topic is about people on the internet having a lack of concentration and not being able to read a full length article, instead skimming and getting bored, and he writes this: Wow! This is the first news post from Mark which I've actually concentrated on and read the whole thing. Usually I skim read, then get bored, then stop. Good post man! :) Very interesting! If that isn't blatantly obvious then you are a dull man. You probably knew it was a joke but you're so desperate to get some sort of compliment around here for once, which you received so graciously (For pasting a news item, clap fucking clap).

Once again, you have been unable to post a comment without being insulting, obnoxious or facetious. Congratulations. Secondly, whatever someone has meant or not meant (which is ultimately unimportant), it's all a bit of harmless fun as far as I can see, unlike your snidy comments.
February 12, 201016 yr Secondly, whatever someone has meant or not meant (which is ultimately unimportant) Ahh, this explains a lot about you.
February 13, 201016 yr You know what's funny about this article? It is also wrong! Using the internet, you can use Google and come up with several websites with an answer to the question you seek much faster than you can read several books. Nothing to do with short attention span, just to do with getting the work done quicker and not having to spend so much time studying and more time to do fun stuff. NEXT.
February 13, 201016 yr Yeah "they" also did studies which proved using the internet is far more stimulating than reading a book.
February 13, 201016 yr I don't trust your judgement as you couldn't tell when someone was making a blatant joke and you took it as a compliment. Get back on the slow bus. Actually, if you're talking about my comment, It was actually a genuine compliment!

I don't know if you're being serious or not but I think the point of the article is to highlight that people don't have the attention span to read the whole book because the internet offers the easy way out, doing the work for you.

February 13, 201016 yr Author Actually, if you're talking about my comment, It was actually a genuine compliment! That's what I thought, so Reillo was wrong after all.;) So who's actually the slow one?:rolleyes: Even if it hadn't been, it wouldn't have been a big deal anyway.:lol:
February 14, 201016 yr That's what I thought, so Reillo was wrong after all.;) So who's actually the slow one?:rolleyes: Even if it hadn't been, it wouldn't have been a big deal anyway.:lol: An apology is needed from someone. I think so...
February 14, 201016 yr Author An apology is needed from someone. I think so... I think there's more chance of Paris Hilton being invited to join MENSA.:rolleyes:

It also says that young people are losing the ability to read books - studying books over a long period of time for them (esp teens) is tedious, and always has been tedious. Also, doing the work for you? It's giving you an answer, just like a book does, it's just that it's quicker to do on the internet than via a book. Most people can just go home from school and look it up on their computer instead of going to a library. It's not copypasta either.
February 14, 201016 yr An apology is needed from someone. I think so... Oh OK. Mark I am soooooooooo sorry that I thought nobody could possibly praise you and your incredible ability to copy and paste an article from your favourite racist and biased newspaper, you cock. There, happy?

Most people can just go home from school and look it up on their computer instead of going to a library. It's not copypasta either. Yeah I can see the advantages of the internet in that respect. From going to university though i've found it much more beneficial to read a whole book, i've found that I learn much more reading the whole book than from looking up the specifics. Like i've found I can get a better overall grasp of the topic if I read the whole book as opposed to an internet article. But that doesn't deny the advantages of the internet for schoolwork.
February 14, 201016 yr Wow! This is the first news post from Mark which I've actually concentrated on and read the whole thing. Usually I skim read, then get bored, then stop. Good post man! :) Very interesting! I'm sorry but this has to be sarcasm. Either you are a massive retard or this is sarcasm.
February 14, 201016 yr I read an article covering a similar topic in the newspaper the other day (yes, I know, I'm old-school, reading newspapers and printed magazines) Well, in my own experience, I have noticed how my ability to focus on a single activity has depreciated the more I use the Internet. When I was in high school or my first two years in college, I was able to sit down and read or do homework for hours, only taking breaks to eat, go to the bathroom, stretch, or exercise. Now? I get easily distracted while using my laptop into looking up stuff on Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, the list goes on. I don't feel as efficient as before.

February 14, 201016 yr I'm sorry but this has to be sarcasm. Either you are a massive retard or this is sarcasm. Hahaha! That's exactly what I thought buy I don't want to get even more wrong. I refute this, it has to be sarcasm. Or maybe he is a retard. Like, why the hell did he write it like that?
