D
Books are not Nadia Konyk’s thing. Her mother, hoping to attract her, brings them home from the library, but Nadia rarely shows an interest. Instead, like so many other teenagers, Nadia, 15, is addicted to the Internet. She regularly spends at least six hours a day in front of the computer.
Nadia checks her e-mail and reads careful through myyearbook.com, a social networking site, reading messages or posting updates on her mood. She searches from music videos on youtube.com and logs onto gaiaonline.com, a role-playing site where members exchange identities as cartoon characters. But she spends most of her time on quizilla.com or fanfiction.net, reading and commenting on stories written by other users and based on books, television shows or movies.
Her mother, Deborah Konyk, would prefer that Nadia read books for a change. But at this point, Ms. Konyk said, “I’m just pleased that she reads something anyway.”
Children like Nadia lie at the heart of a passionate(狂热的)debate about just what it means to read in the digital age. As teenagers’ scores on standardized reading tests have declined, some argue that the hours spent surfing the Internet is the enemy of reading ?reducing literacy, destroying attention spans and a valuable common culture that exists only through the reading of books.
