Literacy

In this lecture we talked about four different types of literacy, text, visual, network, and education. I don't really remember too clearly about this lecture, but I'm still able to remember one thing that Glenn mentioned that got me thinking, which was the discussion about education literacy disappearing. I really do believe that the education literacy is slowly disappearing seeing how fast technology is improving in our lives. Back then and even now people become educated by a teacher so that he or she learn facts and skills in order to survive as adults. But the thing different with today's world and the past is that people now have assess to most of all of human knowledge due to the internet. And seeing that people can go on the internet just from their phones, people now can learn the things they want to learn about anytime of the day. Why would a person have to know what year the United States declared independence? When a person can just look up the information on the spot, with their phones.
