Abstract and Comments for:How the web is undermining reading From Plato to Guitar Hero, we have always been wary of change - but the internet poses a serious threat to society's ability to readBy Naomi Aldermanwww.guardian.co.uk,Tuesday 20 January 2009 12.00 GMTNaomi Alderman in this article seems very preoccupy with the impact of the Web in reading. She argues, in like manner TV make a fall in reading habit a long 20th century, now Web can deeply this tendency. Naomi Alderman say: Recent studies have indicated that online reading tends to break down in the face of texts that require steady focus and linear attention. The recent studies cited are the Jakob Nielsen, discussed in article of Chronicle Review (reference: http://chronicle.com/free/v55/i04/04b01001.htm ) subscribe for Mark Bauerlein.I think which Naomi Alderman is exaggerated in her preoccupation. The habit of reading, in my own view, increase within internet. And write too. The phenomenon of exponential increase of quantity of Blog is an aspect of it. The reading/writing process will be deeply transformed in the Web age. And each time more, but this transformation is not a disfiguration of the intellectual powers of people, as seems in Naomi Alderman article. Is a different way of those.C.M.J.

Martha Medeiros, or just like a woman. Martha Medeiros poems, Brazilian Contemporary Poetry Martha Medeiros is a Brazilian poet who began publishing in the second half of the 80. His first book appeared in 1985 named, Strip-Tease. Since then many books have succeeded. His style is fast and straightforward, concise and humorous at same time. By Martha Medeiros unveils fleches fast the various moons of a normal middle class woman, with her adventures and misadventures in everyday urban life. Odd portrait of contemporary femininity, or, perhaps one face of it.Her Books are: Strip-Tease (1985), Midnight and a Room (1987), Persona non Grata (1991) and Face Flushed (1995).Im think which her poetry is more interesting for the shadowed thematic exploited than its formal quality. In truth, the rime and spelling of her verse doesnt represent any kind of innovation in Brazilian poetry tradition highly impacted for the movements concretistas e neo-concretistas which the great represents are Harold de Campus, Ferreira Gullar and Decio Pignatari.
