                The article “Is the Web dying?  It Doesn’t Look That Way” by Nick Bilton explains why the world believes the web is dying.  Bilton states, “the web is being crippled by a world of apps and screens.” Apps are becoming more prevalent through advancements of media devices. The article also makes the point that the Internet growth over the past two decades has significantly increased. The web seems to be thriving versus dying.

                Through my personal experience, I have realized our society’s dependence on the web. Apps and media devices have become the norm. I have an iPhone, and I use the app store multiple times a week. Every day, I check the weather not even realizing that I am on the web or using the Internet. In my opinion, I disagree with the statement “the web is dying.” I believe the web is doing just the opposite and growing at a rapid pace. As technology grows, the web will adapt to the new advancements.

   After reading the article "Nation Shudders at Large Block of Uninterrupted Text," I realized how dependent our population is becoming on the internet. The article is comical though. I find it funny that just because the article discussed does not come with a neat summary at the end, people automatically assume it is not important. The block of text could have given the cure for cancer, yet majority of the people interviewed say that if there was something important in the document it would be on the news. Technology has advanced so much in such a small amount of time. By the beginning of the nest generation paper my be extinct all together! I think our population to take a step back and realize that regular black and white text can hold just as much important information as the internet. We need to find a balance instead of forgetting about one altogether.
   In my experience, reading online tends to be harder than reading on paper. Online reading restricts you from being able to highlight or annotate the text you are reading. I do not mind online reading, but I learn more read off of paper versus the computer.
