this is a great correlation between the arguments of nicholas carr and gopnick in the beginning of the semester. when studying both their pieces there were heavily accusations by carr saying how we are relying too much on the internet, and the devices that have them. gopnick himself made an inference to a harry potter character using an iPad as well in his article. here we see a child "brainwashed" in carrs terms, by the reliance of a technology used every day in society. in my argument i can only say that learning to read from a screen rather a book has no difference, as long as you obtain the important information presented in front of you, whats the difference? yes the infant has relied on the iPad using the same gestures in the magazine as if it would resound the same way, but as time when he/she grows older, they will realize the difference between ink on paper verses text on screen! but thats just my .02
