I look for something that includes my specific search terms and then I just read from there. I don't really read very much on the synopsis, which I really feel could be an important notification.

I am someone that does not look for much outside context when evaluating the source. I tend to just look at the credentials of the person writing the article and the sources they sited. I can understand the importance of reading laterally.

While I could see how this would occur, with social media websites keeping someone in the loop and allowing for an inside look in to the lives of someone you might not normally speak to, the statistic goes against what is normally spoken of: that the internet causes loneliness. It feels that we, as consumers, are normally being pushed at that the internet makes us feel disconnected from one another and makes us feel as if we are only looking through a rose-colored pane. I feel as if there are conflicting arguments when presented with fact and opinion here. The fact being the statistic and the opinion being that the internet fails to make positive connections with other people and makes us feel as if we are more isolated. Mon, 17 Sep 2018 10:24:25 -0400
