To summarize by computer, or to summarize by human


As technology develops its self day by day there are several blogs which helps us to read a long text by shorten it. However, we need to be aware that may cause a laziness. I know most of us use such sites for some EFL courses. As a result, I support the use of certain social media and blogging web pages.

  1. Nice graphic! It looks like it was written about cyber crime or identity theft. I guess in some ways, the software that allows computers to produce automatic summaries can be viewed as cheating or 'stealing'. You refer to this notion in your post, but don't give any clear justification for your support of the use of such tools. Why exactly do you support the use of such tools as http://smmry.com ?
