Abstract

Since technology is developing quite fast nowadays, discussions about the effects of digital media on the young generation are getting more and more popular. In this paper, the author studies the influence of digital media on teenagers’ reading habits because reading is quite important as teenagers grow. The first part of this paper focused on the negative influence of teenagers using digital media like e-books and online videos as reading materials. Three ideas are mainly illustrated, for instance, young people are getting less patient and concentrated on reading long paragraphs because of the vivid ways expressing on social media. Besides, online summaries about the content of the books make teenagers feel unnecessary to read paper books. However, some positive effects of teenagers using digital media do exist and they are discussed in the second part. After comparing the arguments from different researchers, a conclusion can be drawn. There is no denying that browsing online can obtain more information and improve efficiency, but on the other hand, some unhealthy habits of reading can be formed when teenagers use digital media.
