Claim 1: watching t.v is "unbearably dull. Why? Because they don't contain enough information"
*evaluation?
*saying that we are becoming so accustomed to the internet and how it presents information to us that our brains have evolved in how we absorb information.
*doesn't seem reasonable, because people gain as much information from the tv as they do from the internet.
*I would disagree with his claim, because I think what might seem boring on tv to one person, might not necessarily be to another.

Claim 2: "This is a new way of looking at information"
*cause/effect
*author claims that because we are becoming accustomed to taking in information through the web, other media types are having to change their "appearance"
*that's not necessarily a bad thing.. it depends on who the intended audience is. If the author was talking to the older, more laid-back generation not used to all the fancy technology, then they might agree.
