There is asimple but enlightening drawing in which a man is having a datewith a lady. The lady tells the man that she loves reading and shespends three hours a day reading articles and Facebook, asocial networking website, is her favorite “book”. Apparently, thisdrawing can be naturally linked to the influence of informationtechnology on people’s way of reading. A typical example isthe term phubbers which refers to people who like readingarticles with smartphones or iPads.   

At present,we are living in an information era, it has become a common phenomenon for ahost of youngsters to read articles through social networking softwares likeWechat or Sina microblog. It is social networking websites orsoftwares that makes reading convenient and enjoyable. In modern society, wecan read news and articles as long as we have a smart phone or a iPad. However,everything has its pros and cons. One the one hand, modern technology canfacilitate our reading. For instance, we can download books we like into ourkindle without going to the library. On the other hand, we should not ignorethe advantages of traditional way of reading. E-books can never provide us theatmosphere that a paper book can create.

As acollege student, I am convinced that we should hold a correct attitude towardsmodern way of reading. Thus, we should follow the tendency of socialdevelopment. At the same time, we should also preserve traditional way ofreading.
