Consider the changes brought about by the shift from oral to literate cultures. How similar or different do you think the changes will be as we move to a more fully computer literate culture?



 I personally feel that we're moving way faster into the computer literate culture than anything else before. Right when the personal computer came out, the first thing anyone dumped was the typewriter due to the word application on the computers where you could easily fix mistakes. When the internet came out, one of the first to go on it was textbooks. People didn't like to carry heavy books around so they downloaded them onto the computer, unfortunately, that campaign isn't that popular. Ever since the tablets have come out, the things people are putting on there are books. That ship has taken off and has been a big boom. Now you don't have to go all the way to the bookstore and pay $13 for a book, you can get it from home instantly and read right on the spot for a little more than thought price of $6. But as we can see, the computer literacy has moved quicker than anything else and you can now pretty much do anything from a computer.
