Ever since the first grade I have had a computer in my life. Until middle school I didn't have access to the internet at home, so there was really no affect on by reading through the computer, I would read every night for an hour before I went to bed until around the time I started middle school, also when I got access to the internet at home. After being able to surf the web whenever I wanted to. Now I can read books online aswell. Nut technology like computers have really taken time away from me. Reading had moved from a hobby to a homework assignment and I had only been doing it when I had to, and sadly I have the same habbits today. Televisions and iPods also contribute to the time not used reading. My life revolves around music so my iPod can be my best friend at times. I believe that if the computer, the television, and the iPod were not created, I would definitly have more time to myself reading.

I completely agree to this. Ever since I got my computer in my room, I have been distracted so easily and haven't had much time to read either. Its improving though!
I second this. My I-pod is like another apendage to me. I wish I had more time to read, but there's always something else going on and no time to just sit down and read. Lately, I've been reading more often before I go to sleep and now I've been reading more than watching TV. It's a HUGE improvement.
It is so amazing, the impact technology has had in our lives!
