Is intelligence being lost through conventional reading and research in the digital age?

What is your opinion on the title question? Any ideas? Why not read on for some highlights?

Conventional reading of printed documents allows you to focus more and gives you enough concentration power so that you can come up with research ideas and eventually a research topic.

You can conduct prospective research through programming and experimentation in innovative ways. In fact, for this to happen, you need to study programming and various experiments in your niche field and find new approaches.

In the digital age, there is too much information on the web. You gather a text and copy/paste it into a document, which becomes your research. It requires little effort and does not increase your zenith of knowledge and insight.

In fact, intelligence developed through research in the digital age is really being lost. There are too many programming languages ​​and software tools. Students may get confused about which one to use and study in their research. On the other hand, supervisors are too busy to give time to their students, so they get discouraged and spiral into depression.

Additionally, not all the information found on the web can be considered authentic and reliable. On the other hand, good books are always written by expert authors and can always be considered excellent and prospective.

Therefore, information-based research on the web in the digital age is not enough. That is the main reason why students do not gain wisdom and knowledge in this way.

Also, although there are many software tools available on the web to augment students’ research, they cannot proceed if they are unclear about their research ideas and topic.

So you have to draw a line here. Traditional print reading should be retained to some extent. The simple fact of leafing through the text in digital format tires the eyes miserably and students cannot concentrate properly.

In addition, supervisors must be in contact with their students and suggest and encourage reading of printed material and allow them to ask questions that they should be able to answer rationally and accurately.

The interaction with the supervisor to propose a research topic for the students is important. This way the students do not get lost as I have already mentioned that there is too much information on the web. They need to come to a compromise with their supervisor on which languages ​​and tools to use so they can focus on them, gain intelligence on the technologies required for their research topic, and ultimately fly high.
