Reading methods

Have you watched a movie, or drama that was originally written in a book? If so, you are the part of twenty-first century’s change in culture. As technology dramatically improve, our ways of reading a certain literature changed. To name them chronologically, we listened to cassette tapes, compact discs, watched the literature with VCR, DVDs and now we have 3D movie theatres and even live broadcast of 3D soccer game! Moreover, it’s not just technology that changed, but culture itself also went through change. We live faster, grow impatient, and have less interaction between each other. Moreover society becomes customized but ironically globalized. These dramatic changes can be explained with alternative ways of reading because our ways of living and studying changed.

New methods of reading have altered our daily life. What is the first thing you do when you wake up? Go to bath? Most of people around me boot their computers or check there cell phone to see if somebody have texted or called them overnight. We live in a busy community; everything has to be quick and brief. Since technology took large step and allowed us to write and communicate faster, our ways of working have altered .For example, it is necessary to know how to do excel and powerpoint even draw figures using computer for most of the jobs. Doing so, you can make stronger emphasis and easier understanding. These benefits come in not only working but also in communicating. You can fax certain document or scan them to computer and email. Before computers our “ancestors” had to write them by hand, and send a mail. In addition, this new technology has changed our way of life as well. We spend more time watching T.V. or movie, and musical or drama grow obscures. In addition, almost every famous literature have itself become a film. With the innovation of films, we are able get vivid view of the scene and receive a better understanding of the story. Not only in film but in job as well we have countless jobs that are along the movie and T.V. station but the need for publishing has not increased much.
