Claim from Thompson in which I am responding:
“We know that reading changes the way we think. Among other
things, it helps us formulate thoughts that are more abstract, categorical, and
logical.” (Pub. Thinking 51)
Sub-claim concerning sub-topic:
Clarifying thinking: we can search for information on the
Internet by categories so we are more mentally organized which opens more doors
for us in our cognitive abilities which begins with retaining more information.
I think the Internet has ultimately aided in our overall
cognitive strength because the average person is reading at least double of
what they were reading prior to its existence.
