Online,R U Really Reading? The answer

Online, R U Really Reading? There is not a definite answer to this question. The term “Reading “can be interpret in many ways and as such, there cannot be one definite answer .In truth and in fact everyone who goes online read online. We read our text messages, the news, our assignments, instructions to play a game, blogs, our email and the list goes on. However in terms of deep, thorough, intense reading that books offers, reading online doesn’t allow for this for the most part.
One also needs to understand that there are different kind of readers and people read for different reasons. There are those readers who are intellectual readers such as teachers and professors who love to read no matter what an article maybe and there are people like myself that reads only when it’s a must, in the case of school work, or read mainly for entertainment. Intellectual readers definitely read in depth and thoroughly online. Readers for the most part are usually captivated by interesting engaging topics and articles. When topics seems interesting one is automatically drawn to that particular piece because they want to what’s it’s about, whether it be a news article, an article on a celebrity site or on a blog. Readers in these instances tend not to skim read but read thoroughly to get the full details. So to answer the question we do read online. There are also certain people who prefer to read a book online than to reading the hardcover book itself. They may find it more comfortable or accessible. In this case people do read online.
For the most part however, I think we read online but not in depth as if we were reading a book. The Internet allows for one to skim read and to scan trough different information to find what one wants. The Internet provides us with short precise information. The Internet doesn’t “go around the bush” but it “knocks the nail right on the head” .With the Internet one doesn’t have to read as intensely as if one was reading a book to find answers. Whether one “read” online also depends on the length of an article. If the article is short for the most part, one tends to well read that particular article but if an article is long one tends to skim read. At the same time if one wants to get the full meaning of an article on the web one tends to read that article as if one was reading a book.
So do people read online the answer is yes but do people read as intensely as if one was reading a book the answer is no for the most part.
