Are you literate? Maybe not if we're talking about the new literacy emerging. I've been blogging with some people today about the idea that wikis, blogs, and other computer-mediated forms of communication allow for a new type of literacy, something much more collaborated that Jeff Vice calls "open text" where authorships blurs away and the written piece is owned by the community. This is quite a departure from the old model of writing something, printing it, and it's mine to turn in.

Anyway, this is something I'm going to have to think about some more, but Web-logged has a good post on this topic.
