Literacy and Technology

When I think of literacy, I think of reading and writing. I guess one of the first stages of literacy is learning beginning alphabet skills, phonemic awareness, etc. The next stage is being able to read quickly, effortlessly, and accurately. The most important goal in reading is to comprehend. Comprehension is necessary to function in society.

I'm sticking with my original definition of technology: Technology is used to make our lives easier (ex. communication, research, building bigger and better things). Although sometimes it is hard to believe when your computer crashes or when you drop your hole puncher into your screen and ruin it (don't ask). If this definition is not good enough...learn more about technology and Wikipedia it!! :)
