“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 #2
For this blog I really wanted to focus on something that I experience on a daily basis now that I live further out in the country. It's really a simple concept of being able to stop at night before walking into the house and seeing a huge sky filled with a countless amount of stars. I used to live in a suburb in Cincinnati where smog and clouds typically took over the view of the sky. However, considering this was the norm I never seemed to be bothered by it. Now I have grown to appreciate being able to stand under a blanket of stars and simply take in the beauty of the view without the interruptions that come when living in Cincinnati.
