I always knew that a lot of stuff is based online. However, after reading this article, I learned that there is and will be much more online rather than books. In the article it state, "literacy is not just “new” today; it becomes “new” every day of our lives". everyday, society needs to learn how to use different forms technology because inverting is updated. This can go with emails, new apps, browsers, search engines, wikis, and blogs. We need to know how to do all of this if we are going to succeed in and out of school.
I thought it a very good idea when the article suggested to "start teaching new literacies as early as possible". Just like anything else, the earlier someone starts, the easier it is to do when an adult because they are use to it.
