<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3816059, member: 15588"]You need to learn to use the internet and a book <i>together</i>. I replaced a book form dictionary with the internet a while ago. Then you can do exactly what you said. The internet is good for looking things up, of course, but you have to work <i>much harder</i> on the internet for depth. The internet is unfortunately not a very deep place, but it does contain a lot of information. I don't disagree with that. Also remember that I said "<i>unless one reads the equivalent of an entire book on the internet</i>," so I basically agree with you on that point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, every eye doctor I've seen has told me that prolonged exposure to computer screens, though less so for today's flat screens, is hard on the eyes because the eyes have a hard time finding a focal point due to the pixellation of the images, which subtlety vibrates. I spend all day in front of these things, so I ask a lot of questions about exposure risk. I personally couldn't stand reading an entire book in one or a few sittings on a computer screen. Some e-readers are okay, though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
