Reading Behavior- Digital Environment

The case study addressing the changes in reading behavior due to the digital environment points out some interesting observations. It seems that the digital experience lends itself to an entirely new way of reading. Because there has been such an influx of information on the internet, people must pick and choose what they read. Therefore people often search for the key points in the reading through skimming and searching for key points. I noticed that I was actually doing this as well when reading the case study. I read the introduction and conclusion first to see what the main point of the article said in order to more quickly understand and evaluate the key points.
