“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 #5
I feel like today in class was one of the days I disagree with the most. I think that the video we watched was wrong in many ways, mostly to do with what I believe religiously. I do not think that aesthetic appreciation has anything to do with instinct. I think that everyone thinks what they want to think and it is an individual's decision on what they see as appealing. Also I want to note how Carlson has a good point in knowing the science behind what one is seeing.
