At the beginning of the quarter the readings we were given suggested that America is doomed because of technology. The most challenging part about this quarter was deciding whether the internet was good or bad for me. The internet helps me research, study, keep in touch with my friends, and entertains me all within seconds. Why not use this beautiful tool? The internet is where you will find culture. Whether it is in a YouTube video, a person’s Facebook profile, StumbleUpon, or a blog. A person using the internet is able to read, write, and listen, all which makes up literacy. Claims made by certain authors suggesting that America is becoming illiterate because of the internet preposterous. The internet may be distracting us from reading physical text out of a book or newspaper, but we can find that online too. (also, it saves trees!)
