Technology is causing a decline in our literacy skills
This post backs up my belief that using the internet causes a decrease in literacy skills
In the late 1930s, an inventor created the first processing computer. The machine engulfed the room, its size gargantuan. A symbol of mechanical innovation, the computer brought hope to all scientists.
Eventually, the creation blossomed, and now, more than 70 years later, there is a computer in almost every household. However, while the computer may foster technological progress, its allure and temptation enthralls the most focused people. Specifically, reading on the Internet advocates a less concentrated and more aimless kind of literacy.
What Is Literacy?
The definition of literacy is thus: "... not simply knowing how to read and write a particular script, but applying this knowledge for specific purposes in specific contexts of use" (Scribner 236). Some claim that the Internet affects literacy drastically.
