“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #3
For Blog #3 I thought it would be appropriate for me to discuss the class in which we talked about Thoreau and Muir. The reading about Muir appealed to me a lot more then that of Thoreau's section. Muir was obviously a lover of the outdoors which was seen in his actions (specifically when taking students into the mountains). Overall, I feel as though Muir had a thought process which appealed to me especially in the sense of enjoying and appreciating the beauty that the outdoors has to offer.
