Blog 3-reading revolutions

The most interesting reading revolution too me would have to be the industrial revolution. This brought on a whole new idea to literature. Having the ability to print out books, newspapers and magazines in a speedy  manner changed how people read. This idea brings back the first revolution the article talked about and that was the movement from intensive reading to extensive reading. Meaning, people would re-read certain literature (i.e. The Bible) or many different texts just once. I think this plays into the way we read now especially. Having any kind of information at the tips of our fingers makes the way we read totally different then say even just thirty years ago. The internet has made, in my opinion, people more "lazy". What i mean by lazy is that we have shorter attention spans when it comes to literature. I understand there are people that still sit down and can read 1984 multiple times, but i think that this is becoming rarer and rarer. When we want to know something we google it. The more we google the faster we want answers and the less patient we become. People can view this as good and bad, but that can be a whole other topic. :)
