Reichard, and Anne Gardner investigate how internet and television use impacts a college student in terms of their recreational reading and academic reading.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>A hypothesis was that the internet created a change in how students would spend their time. The authors wanted to find if the trend in American reading less, having low reading skills, and that these declines impacted a negative civic, social, and economic implications was true for college students.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The questions that the authors asked included: How much time do college students spend on recreational and academic reading? What influences do internet and television use have on students\u2019 reading habits and practices?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>To find out these answers they performed a time-diary survey with a random sample of 4,500 undergraduate college students who attend a highly selective midwestern university.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The respondents received an email to voluntary participate in the survey.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Those who more likely to respond were female, full-time students, and their age was twenty-three or younger.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>They found that students reported spending their time more on the internet than they did on academic reading, television watching, or recreational reading.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Also, found that a majority of respondents performed other activities while recreationally reading, academically reading, television watching, and using the internet.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>An interesting find was that students spent significantly more time using the internet on Mondays and they did on Saturdays. Overall, I think the study showed a reality of how college students engage in recreational reading, academic reading, watching television, and Internet use.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I think it would have interesting to see if the study would have similar results if it was done in a public college rather than a highly selective midwestern university.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mokhtari, Kouider, Carla A.
