This week’s symposium made it very clear that as a collective, the students studying Networked Media and our generation by extension, do not have enough knowledge of digital literacy, or rather as much as we should given the relevance of digital and networked media in our lives. This was highlighted during the symposium by the fact that we understand how to create books, but in general do not understand how to create a website. Although the majority of us students spend considerably more time with web literature than with printed literature, the educators of the symposium found it astonishing that we lack the same level of literacy in digital work that we possess in print work. Although a fair point, I can’t help but think that this notion is directly related to our primary and secondary school education in which print literacy and the way books are created is clearly taught, whereas website design is not. Therefore, digital literature is something that people of my generation are very familiar with, however the production of such literature is kept from us until later education, such as this subject. This leads me to believe that as we progress through the digital age, digital literacy will become more and more often compulsory during early stages of education. For example, secondary school computing or IT classes might entail website design as an element of the teaching structure.
