Looking at literacy 50 years ago it would be able to read; but now it is not only that but also being able to use technology too. If you want to be an average twenty-first century person you should know how to use a computer. In the article "Shifting" Toward a New Literacy Mr. Fisch explains how in today’s world it is essential to know how to type, use the Internet and so much more for everyday things like school and work. Literacy has not changed but expanded through the growth of technology. The biggest thing that has changed is the introduction of computers that now our world would not work without them.
This effects our generation of youth by so much from the new learning tools, new computers and more. The stuff we are learning today is ever changing and we need to know how to use all the tools to make our generation successful. People 50 or 100 years ago could have never dreamed of what the world is like today. That is why we need to know how to use these essential literary techniques.
