Literacy to me is the ability to read and write. Those are 2/3 of what it takes to communicate with other people (the third is obviously talking). If you can’t read and write things get pretty tough for you. Yet in our digital age we are running into an age that reading and writing might not be as popular or even necessary now with books on IPods news weather and sports are using video rather than traditional articles. Schools are not teaching their students things like grammar or how to properly address mail or letters. Traditional methods of communication are going digital. But it is necessary that we learn digital composition. As much as that pains me and as much as I hate E-mail and Blackboard it is necessary to understand digital composition because we are entering a digital age where we as a species are depending more and more on computers. Yes literacy maybe the ability to read and write but you must keep up with how information is being distributed, how the writings are being distributed because if you don’t then you will be left in the dark. Oh and yes I still hate blackboard and E-mail.
