Should educators embrace new means of litercy

        Let me first say that I am always a little bit skeptical about new things, especially when it comes to things as traditional as literacy itself, which has such a huge impact on society.
        I have to say that if you give me a book I am like a cat in front of a fire. I read every chance I get and will read an entire book in one sitting and not think a thing it. That being said, I am sure that it is completely obvious that I am one of those few that love literacy just as it is.
       From the beginning of time schoolwork has been characterized by books rather the study of books and the testing of what you can remember has been with  paper tests.
      Paper is like the tide, it will always be there, where as, computers on the other hand are as fickle as the wind computers are great when they are functioning but it is kind of disastrous when they have a glitch  let me give you an example. At the beginning of this assignment Mr Huval asked us to turn in our assignments but some of us (myself included) couldn't complete our work because of computer related problems.
       Now that I have expressed my opinion let's talk facts. In the article it clearly states that the more our generation reads only digital material, the more our schools reading and reading comprehension scores are declining or staying the same. They are in no way improving.
        I am certainly not against change and so I believe that educators should conduct more tests to be sure whether such digital literacy is beneficial., For now based on the articles and tests done so far it is my opinion that digital literacy is completely  unbeneficial.
