“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)

Eaton
Aesthetic experience which is argued by Eaton is marked by perception of
and reflection upon intrinsic properties of objects and events that a community
considers worthy of attention. Eaton
states that if our goal really is creating and maintaining sustainable
environments, then the thinking must be given priority in our
appreciation. Success in making and
preserving environmentally maintainable environments depends on designers’ and
maintainers’ abilities to understand and represent in environments those things
that will keep the community’s visual attention and interest. Pretty much here he is saying that people are only going to want to help and save/maintain nature that they feel aesthetically beautiful.
