critical read article (#2)

(sorry i don't have the article URL)

I think the purpose of this article was to describe the different learning styles for the new millennia. The main purpose of this article was to show how technology can help learning. We can now decide from our fingertips (ie: the world wide web) through different information in which we choose what is true and false, instead of being handed one paper with that being told this is the only information on this subject.


This article was written for basically younger people in their teenage years or in the early twenties that are getting to this advancement in life where technology is ‘taking’ over. I think that our life is now the desktop or internet.

The different ways I think the text of this article employs is that it took doesn’t take the whole world into example because most countries don’t even have a phone. It does however example us just in the United States and how our technology has furthered us in advancement and learning.

This article doesn’t have a lot of evidence of studies or arguments, just stating that our age ‘is’ moving into neomillennial learning styles and ways of life. It comes from a literary point of view, I think. The author of this is basically saying we are now an avatar in life and the world wide web, computers, phones, are now our life and are going to play a big role in our future. In which I agree because most things now are done through technology.

This article could be better if there was more evidence in it and more studies to prove that we are moving into a more technological era. It would’ve been better if he included other countries in which technology really doesn’t even exsist and just said overall ‘we’ which included in my mind everybody, but in the authors mind basically just the U.S. It would’ve been a stronger ariticle with out so many big words (I say) and more evidence to prove its point overall.
