It struck me in class how computers have penetrated our everyday lives, though it would be foolish of me to not acknowledge the many benefits they have brought with them, i am unsettled by this "development". Somethings we have lost i think though inconvenient where valuable. But this is for another discussion.
That said what did i learn in class about digital literacy? The loudest message i got, proceed with caution because once something is on the "web" it cannot be retrieved. I came across a new term - digital immortalilty. Also all the skills have similar requirements, critical thinking and continous learning. To understand new developments is important so as to always be able to effectively engage the various applications(digital medias) available. Also i have become even more cautious (paranoid perhaps) in my daily use of the computer.

ReplyDeleteHi Hazvineyi
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, that the computer is becoming more important in our life. It saves a lot of time, makes our everyday duty easier and convinient. I am concerned about the new "Next" generation because they have a very high performance of using all the new technology, but at the same time they are losing everyday "life" conversation. They are connected with the real world only through on-line messages and sms texting
Absolutly. It is a world of technology. We use technologies in our everyday life. It is true that digital technologies provides us so much covenience, but at the same time, it is necassary to concern about plagiarism when we are using digital literacy. Otherwise, it would raise up to a legal issue.
ReplyDeleteHazvineyi,
ReplyDeleteYou made some very valid points. I love (ok like) the fact that we are getting introduced to these different ways to communicate. I, like you, am cautious of what personal info I would put out there. Thank you for introducing the term digital immortality to me. Cheers!
