What is the worth of words?
Thursday, September 21st, 2006
Michael Rogers, a columnist for MSNBC takes a look at how technology is affecting literacy in What is the worth of words? Will it matter if people can’t read in the future?
This may not be the definitive thinking on this subject but it’s a fascinating subject and worth thinking about. I can say without a doubt that RSS alone, while allowing me to scan more information seems to run counter to my ability to go really deep. We’re not even talking about assistive technologies like text to speech which is getting quite good. Things are definitely changing.
Good Find. Thanks
