Problem
I. Studies suggest that students today spend less time reading that in the past but most of the studies have not included the amount of time that students spend on social media. Do you think you spend less time reading now than you did when you were younger? What kind of reading do you do on social media (email, text, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so forth)? How does this differ from the kind of reading you are required to do in college? Do you think social media has a positive or negative affect on your reading for college and your professional life?
II. When you want to learn how to do something which is your first choice: a) read a book or website text about it or b) watch a YouTube video? Think about your response. Why did you pick that response? Have you always felt that way or do you think your response has changed over time? Do you think available media has changed your reading habits? Explain your answer.
