All this talk of network literacy and our educator’s inclination to point out the general population of our class’ lack thereof, makes me wonder what my generation should be considered experts of in terms of methods of literacy. In regards to photography literacy, isn’t it interesting that high definition cameras are available in any smartphone, of which more than half the country’s population possess. Capable of capturing a photograph before viewing it immediately. However Vannevar Bush in 1945 is intrigued by the technology of film photography and seems perplexed by the idea that one day in the future, photographs will be able to be viewed immediately upon capture, without the aid of wetting the photograph or the timely process of developing film. Nowadays, such notion sound ridiculous due to the accessibility of digital cameras. Digital photography is a very new phenomenon, however it is a literacy known as ‘second nature’ to the vast majority of young people today. This leads me to consider new literacies as highly important for young people to learn in order to keep up with the ever changing reality that is the media world. Especially as someone seeking a career in the industry, I understand the importance of looking to the future of media and communication, eager to attain new literacies in order to stay ahead of the game.
