David Warlick, the author of this article, states that literacy today is being overridden by technology. Literacy was initially made up of the 3 Rs (writing, reading, and arithmetic), but now, information is much more networked. Warlick also states that it is important to recognize the truth - accurate information vs. author opinion. There is such an abundant amount of information today. Warlick says that information is “competing for our attention”, so it’s important to not only become critical of what you hear, but learn to communicate effectively using media literacy as well as initial literacy.
