The solution, then, to making the public more aware of elit lies in rethinking our notion of literacy. It involves technological literacy that is not simply seen as "a complex set of socially and culturally situated values, practices, and skills involved in operating linguistically within the context of electronic environments, including reading, writing, and communicating" (Selfe 11), but one that extends to visual, sonic, kinetic, and kinesthetic modalities, allowing us to "situate knowledges" to offer "a more adequate, richer, better account of the world" (Selfe 146-8).
