I was quiet intrigued by the article. It was strange and seemed foreboding with all the quotes.

# data[].attributes.body
The article expresses that people no longer rely on old research methods and avoid reading books. They realized they were looking for convenience and just read online. Nowadays we are quite reliant on the internet and we don't really use older methods of media, reading, and communication.

# data[].attributes.body
This article may predict that we may become very reliant on technology for everything to which we kind of already do. We may also just forget the older methods of reading, media, and communication.

# data[].attributes.body
This article was very interesting to me, what was interesting was the use of a story with quotes to then explain the significance of the article.

# data[].attributes.body
The article mentions how there are more advanced technologies now to do research and people no longer use past research methods such as reading books, etc. People now only rely on technology for their everyday use and use no other methods as a form of communication/research.

# data[].attributes.body
The implications of this article in our future is we will continue to rely on technology, now and in the future. Technology will only become more advanced and accessible in the future, which may drown out the old ways of research, communication, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the article was very interesting and had a lot of relevant information.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology has changed a lot of what this article is mentioning. The accessibly of technology has out dated a lot of these methods.

# data[].attributes.body
Some implications of this article in our future is the deeper level of dependence of technology in our society. Not only research and gathering information.

# data[].attributes.body
I found the article very compelling and interesting. I genuinely loved all of the quotes throughout the article.

# data[].attributes.body
The article talks about how there are and will be more mordernized and advanced technologies, which is exactly how everything is now. We all use technology in our day-to-day lives, whether it's a phone, computer, fridge, T.V., etc.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, I feel that the article is trying to imply that we will end up heavily relying on technology, no matter what it may be. Sooner or later, we will end up relying to live by using technology.

# data[].attributes.body
My immediate reaction is engaged. The article speaks on a subject that immediately affects me because of my use of the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
The article hardly seems outdated. The way it speaks on using the internet for information and losing interest in lengthy texts is very accurate for modern standards.

# data[].attributes.body
The implications of the article suggest that the thinking of humans will become used to obtaining information quickly. It bases this on personal anecdotes of becoming disinterested in lengthy texts and preferring to use the web to search for answers. By getting all of this information quickly we become used to it and expect it. Thus why researching in lengthy texts will become increasingly harder to focus on.

# data[].attributes.body
I was very intrigued by this article as it grasped my attention right away. I thought the use of quotes made it very significant and interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
In this article the main difference would probably be the use of technology. The use of technology nowadays is a lot more complex to the time it is referring to in the article.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that the article is trying to refer to how the human race will be complete dependent on technology. As we are making more and more advanced engineering of technology.

# data[].attributes.body
The article had a lot of information in it about the topic and there was a ton of quotes through out it.

# data[].attributes.body
No people want to get the information they need as fast as they can without spending a lot of time looking for it.

# data[].attributes.body
People now are so used to using technology in their lives to get what they need they may forget how to get it a different way if we can't use technology anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
The article was very interesting. I like how the author used quotes to explain the story and the significance of it.

# data[].attributes.body
The article was a time before technology evolved. The methods they used in the article are very outdated considering our advanced technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Our society is so used to technology that living without it will be very difficult for many. It will be uncomfortable territory.

# data[].attributes.body
I really understood what the author was saying at the beginning about not being able to focus. Especially with things like Tik Tok, I feel like we're being trained to have a 1 minute attention span.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't even realize that this article had been written in 2008. The author's thoughts are so prevalent now. In social media, the user has the power to scroll past anything they're not interested in, and even the things they might be interested in don't last more than 30 seconds. It is probably even worse than he described, considering the time difference.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that since the problem has gotten so much worse since the article was written, I think it will continue to grow at an exponential rate until mankind can't focus on anything more than a few seconds or a few words long.

# data[].attributes.body
I was curious at the mention of the concept discussed in the article and wondered if what they were saying is true.

# data[].attributes.body
This article definitely made me want to keep reading because of the way it was written with the quotes and the article was just intriguing itself.

# data[].attributes.body
This article really puts into perspective how much technology has really changed and how it has also changed us as human beings at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
They talk about how we avoid reading and look for convenience more than anything but I think it raises a valid point now more than ever because of things like TikTok that train us to have a few second long attention span.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the problems the article talks about are going to get much worse as the future goes on. I don't think humans will ever be able to focus on a certain task for a long amount of time.

# data[].attributes.body
The implication in regards to our future is that we will continue to rely on technology instead of communication.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this article was very interesting considering all of the stuff going on in the world, I thought that this article explained the feelings of some people vert well.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this article was very interesting and I think that there were some true and interesting quotes. Ex. "Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski." Which is something that I have seen a lot happen to other people

# data[].attributes.body
I think that if you were to take away the date for this and tell people to guess when it was written that they would probably guess recent years. Thing have began to lower the attention span of kids such as youtube and tiktok with instant gratification.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the problem will indeed get worse because even though I say people are getting used to this, I am also included and get very distracted and stop doing something because its boring sometimes. I feel like this will only get worse with time.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought this article was very eye opening for me and the useful quotes helped me understand the topic deeper.

# data[].attributes.body
Things are pretty similar to when this article was published, which was in 2008. Much of the same information can be used today, even though technology has advanced since the date of the article.

# data[].attributes.body
People nowadays are so dependent on technology and as time progresses so will the dependency on technology and quick doses of serotonin in our brains. The problem will continue to worsen, leading to full reliability on technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I found the article somewhat ironic, talking about how it is hard for the internet-surfing mind to read more than a few paragraphs, but the article itself was quite lengthy, but it was still very relevant and intriguing to read.

# data[].attributes.body
It is an interesting commentary on digital use. And there were very many pop culture references and quotes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we are already more reliant on the Net then we were when the article was created, finding ourselves watching fast-paced, 15 second videos across social media platforms, or opting to google something rather than use older methods of research to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
I think humans will continue to rely on technology, so much so that it will become entirely and totally necessary for us to live, in every sense of the word. I think humans will re-adapt to this type of learning, and learn to decode information in small pieces and pull from it, rather than digesting and stewing large pieces of information.

# data[].attributes.body
The article describes the use of computers and our reliance on it pretty similarly to how we use it now. But it is outdated as nowadays we pretty much fully rely on technology. And how much it has shaped our society.

# data[].attributes.body
Implications include the article commenting on how our use of tech will grow worse and worse and lose human connection. Which today can already be seen as an issue.

# data[].attributes.body
I found the article very interesting and eerily true. The internet is dumbing people down and enforcing them to not do their own research on a multitude of topics. People always say don't believe everything on the internet but that thought process has seemed to go out the window. I was very engaged with the article and it was eye-opening to read.

# data[].attributes.body
Right away I felt like the article related to me so much. It's very easy to see how much my attention span has gone down after getting social medias.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say now we are even more dependent on technology. For example if all technology went down there would be almost no banking.

# data[].attributes.body
As I said in question two if someone were to take the internet down it would set the world into shock.

# data[].attributes.body
I though this was a very interesting article and is extremely true. I was surprised to find out that even people like lit majors struggle staying focused while reading now.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is still very true. If anything it has become much worse than it was then. Due to the increase in social media usage most people don't even read articles anymore instead they just look pictures instead.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in the future there could be serious implications for this. As time goes on there is an increased risk that we will have more of a lack of focus and the struggles implicated in this article will worsen.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that the article was relatable off the jump because even myself has a super poor attention span after social media, ever since I was a kid really, when my phone dings my attention instantly gets taken off whatever I am doing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it isn't that its really outdated, its more of the fact that now that our brains are trained to google and social media our attention spans have become even more poor. Additionally, we are more reliant on tech.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that honestly, this problem is just going to get so much worse and as every day goes by, we get more and more addicted to technology.
