This article talks about how reading became a part of our lives and how it was involving through time. With the advance of technology, people were worried that reading would become something obsolete however, it had the opposite effect. More and more people started reading just because it was easy for them to read, they just had to unlock their phones for example.

"Everything Science Knows About Reading On Screens"

This article talks about how with the development of technology has been affecting people's reading and how much they can absorb when they do it. It argues that reading in paper is still better than reading in a screen because the screen provides a lot of distractions, what might compromise their understanding of the text. However, the article also says that with this technology advancing so fast, we have to be able to adapt to this new trend, but in the end, the act of reading a book is still scientifically proven to be better.

These two articles discuss our experience with reading and how technology has affected it with its development. However, the articles have different approaches. The first article focuses on how technology will become more and more a bigger part of our lives and how it improve on how much people read daily. The second article had a more negative approach when it comes to the influence of this new technological era in our reading. It discussed how it can decrease the quality of our reading and how we can end up having a poor understanding of what we are reading.

In my opinion both articles have a little bit of truth in it. As I can see technology has definitely become a big part of people lives. We are connect all the time and can have access to any information at anytime. Of course that those endless possibilities can become a little distractive if you are trying to work on your phone/computer because notifications will always pop-up and the may end up being in the way of our understanding of the quality of our work.
