The Oedipal Net. "Silicon Literacies: Communication, Innovation and Education in the Electronic Age" by Ilana Snyder (ed). [review]
Abstract
Thankfully, there are people who concern themselves with the future impact of what's happening now. Some of those people have written essays for this volume, "Silicon Literacies", ably edited and introduced by Ilana Snyder, from Monash University. The book casts a wide net - if you will - and comes up with a diverse set of findings about what constitutes 'literacy' in a screen-based technological world; what the effects of this new literacy are; and what some of its implications might be.
