Response to reading

The reading was kind of interesting but I found confusing because it was all on the computer. I did not like the fact that it was a digital text. Not only did it begin to hurt my eyes but it seems like it took me longer to read and seemed as if there was a lot more text than there really was.
The part I found interesting was the time line of technology and how it was progressed and gotten more complex over the last few centuries specifically. I still dont understand how something on a computer is 3-D. Nothing on a 2-D plane can be 3-D. The computer can give an illusion of 3-D but never is it really the case. So the whole time it gave examples of that I kept thinking it was fullish. I do understand that we are in an age where we have to correct perceive and interpret the new technological pallet of ideas brough about by computers and multimedia. However, I did not like the analogy of how there are 4 generations of thinking or people. It said the top or last generation is the computer generation and made it seem as if you didnt opperate at that level then you were below or inferior to those that did. I did not like that because I believe it is like Gardners multiple intelligence theory. I do believe you are just interested in computers and might have an innate ability to manuever better than someone else such as an artist with paint. So by no means would I consider someone that is technological savy to be smarter or on a higher level than someone that merely would rather write text, read text from a book or something other than high tech.
