1. How will emerging technology (ie: blogs, videos, e-readers,e-books) affect literacy?
Like texting, when we use social networks, our language will only be limited to u, or lol. But with blogs, we use normal english and proper language. Videos and e-readers will help in the literacy part because of the sole use of reading and listening. It helps those that are visual and auditory.
2. How is Web 2.0 challenging us to "rethink ourselves" (ie: friendships, work, education, community, family etc...)?
Sometimes, when we are on the computer and just msning people, we have a lot more to talk about and we my be even more friendly than the person in real life. I know that because I am like that as well. However, it also improves some relationships that were dulled down. Our friendships my be strong but it will affect our education and family. We will then be constantly on the computer or phone to actually have communication over dinner. We may improve our friendship with others, but we may even server our relationship with our parents.
