The 21 century communication

Throughout my reading of what it means to be literate in the 21st century and beyond.  It came most forceful to me that we use a number of skills to research, read, sort and evaluate information in 'the digital book.' It re-defines what is mean to be literate based on what was conventionally looked at as decoding words on paper.  It means therefore, that we (humans) are not totally literate since new skills are acquired as we navigate the pages of different websites.
