Speech

Let’s break this down. You’re reading/ listening to this paper or me speaking because you need to learn how to read. Better yet, read an article for research or whatever purpose you may have for reading it. At the top of every article is the title. The title will always give you your basic understanding of what the article will be about but, unfortunately this article may not always be what you’re looking for. In a science daily article it will always give you two brief descriptions. One which is directly under the title which in all honesty is just a longer version of the title. One in small print under that useless first description. Then again bolded right before the main article, in a darker tinted box. Yes both of these are the same description, no I don’t understand why they put it in two locations but they did. This is the actual description of the paragraph so make sure to read this before proceeding.

Again, please read this before going through the entire article so you don’t end up wasting time. Be efficient, time can matter and wasting it will eventually add up. It’s not a good trait to have in the business world.

On a second note CHECK YOUR SOURCE. Your work is only as good as the source you get it from. A double major, nobel prize award winning scientist is a major difference from some dude playing chemistry in their bathtub. At the bottom of every article on this site is the origin of the story followed by the journal reference. For this particular article the reference is from the University of New South Wales located in Australia. Now this is a prestigious tech and research university that produces amazing engineers, scientist, and programmers.

Instead of reading every one of these people certifications let’s just go ahead and take my word for it, they’re good. lastly, look at the date. Again it is right below the title. Do not use out of date information, especially if it’s for something important.

Now assuming this is infact the article you’re looking for, we can dive into the details. Right below that bolded rough paragraph we talked about earlier is the start of the actual article. It immediately states where this research came from to give proper acknowledgement.

so obviously you’re here reading this article because you like computers, and particles affecting one another.

This particular article is going over the new form of coding in silicon due to quantum computers which can now be built due to this discovery. As you continue reading, the third and fourth paragraph gives you insight on what past problems have been in this field of research. now from the fourth paragraph on we can actually read what they have been doing with these particles and what its output was. This should be where your main focus of this article is (assuming you’re trying to figure out what actually happened). That is how you read an article, There is no point of me going into the finer details because I don’t exactly know what you’re looking for. But, luckily for you guys, I have given you every tool to do so.
