“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
For this blog I would like to add some input regarding an "appropriate aesthetic appreciation of nature." In my opinion, there is no "appropriate" appreciation of anything. As an individual, one has different outlooks and reasons to why he or she prefers or appreciates a certain object. In the case of appreciating something such as nature, who are we to judge or belittle another's appreciation. Just because a person may not be educated or know the science behind what/how things happen in nature, doesn't mean there appreciation is illegitimate.
