Literary Discussion

Reading and critical thinking are two simultaneous processes that have been inherited within the cognitive process of human beings. It is a natural fact that when a person either see, hears or views anything, his cognition starts working on the critical analysis process.

For example, a boy sees a car on the road side and gets immediately attracted to it. It is a natural phenomenon that boys are attached to big things at first sight. Secondly, his cognitions start working at the point when he got attracted to it. He starts thinking what model it is, who owns it, what are their physical features, if it is making a certain sound that what engine is being used. This process last about not more than a minute, but since he is attracted to the car, therefore, his cognition starts working. He now goes to college and discuses that car with hi friends in a critical manner.

Same is the case with the reading habits of a human being. A person who reads book, article novel and theories automatically develops his cognition over the critical thinking and analysis of them. He starts using his brain on what the situation is going and how the situation can be altered. Similarly, he develops a critical analysis and creative techniques over those readings.

Current technologies have devastated the half part of reading analysis capability in humans of today. It has become a common notion that if you are unable to find anything “Google it”. We can say that Google is now the father of all libraries ...
