摘要:It is no longer possible to think about literacy in isolation from a vast array of social,technological and economic factors.Two distinct yet related factors deserve to be highlighted.These are,on the one hand the broad move from the now centuries-long dominance of writing to the new dominance of the image,and on the other hand,the move from the dominance of the medium of the book to the medium of the screen.These two together are producing a revolution in the uses and effects of literacy and of associated means for representing and communicating at every level and in every domain.Together they raise two questions:What is the likely future of literacy,and what are the likely larger-level social and cultural effects of that change?
