In today’s world, people are becoming impatient and don’t want to deal with the same things they used to be okay with. I think that is because all the new technologies that we have today allow us to get to the point quicker and get our task done in a more efficient manner. Because technology is evolving people are too evolving. Kevin, a student at Whatcom community college, says, “As I walk the earth, I find that people are always trying to find new ways to get things done quicker and more efficient.” So as we grow we learn things, things that help us discover or create new way to evolve, find a more efficient way to live.

On the internet, readers tend to do things and research in a certain way. They access sites quickly, they skim pages, and if they don’t find what they want they move on. Clicking on hyperlinks and websites searching something that makes since to them. On his online article, “Lazy Eyes”, Michael Agger describes this kind of people as “informavores”, they access sites quickly searching for information scents and moving on if there’s no food. Agger argues that online readers are doing things differently,these days people jump on the internet and just jump from hyperlink to hyperlink skimming the page looking for the main point. He goes on to say that someone needs to change and it’s not the reader but instead the writer, they need to capture our attention and hold it. There are too many distractions on the net for people today information needs to be able to compete.
