Flipboard (learning task 2, week 5)

An app that finds articles for me...based on my interests? Although I do feel apps like Zite and Flipboard will appeal to "non-readers", I do believe their is something to be said for reading from an actual book, magazine or newspaper. Albeit, this may be a hang up for someone who was not born into a technologically advanced culture. I did find myself being easily distracted at times and just aimlessly flipping through the pages and only reading the introduction to an article...would some students do the same? Could this be a challenge? On a positive, I could see kids thinking this is a fun way to do research or just read info on topics that you choose to read about.
