Literacy of technology in the Workplace
Rapid changes in information and communication technologies have resulted in literacy becoming technological deixis, its meaning continuously changing as new technologies appear and as new investments for their use are crafted. While literacy has always been destik in an historical sense, the current period is unique because of the rapid changes in the technologies of information and communication as well as the environment they inspire. As a result, literacy is regularly being redefined within shorted time periods. This takes place as rapidly changing technologies for information and communication transform literacy and as users envision new ways of using these technologies for literate acts, transforming, in turn, the nature of these technologies.
With that said internet literacy is a driving force of the work place for research and development to increase productivity. However when taken advantage and using it for self pleasure to view non-work-related productivity it becomes a negative force to all involved. Thus being unfair for all parties involved.
Knowing in today's age, schools are making it a higher priority to educate kids technology making them more dependent on them. Do you think it has been a negative force of some sort?

I do believe it is important for children to learn how to properly use technology in school especially in todays world which is rapidly making advancements in technology. At the same time, I also believe children should learn how to not depend on technology for every single little thing. What happens if their calculator breaks and they don't know how to do simple multiplication? All children should learn how to do things the manual way and also the processes of how to do things with technology because technology is a great thing and allows for so many tasks and processes to be completed in half the time or more of a manual process. But children should not solely be dependent on technology.
ReplyDeleteI think Technology is way more advanced today than 5 years ago. it is important to keep up with the times, However it is also important to learn and teach each other to balance between work and personal life just as is between privacy and disclosure.
ReplyDeleteI believe that children should depend on technology in these days because the technology is developing fast and getting advanced . So it is important to teach kids in school so they can cope with changing environments.
