“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 11
The Bugbee reading today was very interesting. I liked how Bugbee said that man always look for answers, but also tend to look away at the same time. I think that still holds true to today, that people want to ask questions that they don't want to know the answer to. This led into his discussion of light. Is light something that is apparent or where things are able to be seen. Then he also talked about the theme of wonder and that wonder deepens reason, which ultimately deepens reality. The ending of this reading did not come full circle for me, but I think he just wanted to implore a new way of thinking.
