Just finished reading "Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year-Olds". This article is strictly a report, it provides unbiased facts, numbers, percentages, and etc. This article is not exactly a light article compared to last week's Stephen Downes piece.
Even though this article was informative, I find it very hard to absorb the content. There were a lot of percentages being reported, races such as Whites and Blacks were being mentioned in numerous places. If I was doing a research and this article pertains to what I do, perhaps then I would have a better context to it, but since we are just reading this as an assignment, I find it very difficult to get grounding on it.
I believe this article would have been more effective if the authors used less words and perhaps utilizing charts and graphs instead of just the mundane tables with percentages. Like the old saying goes, "Less is more".
Perhaps tomorrow, I will post up something about the article, I am just too burnt out by numbers currently.
