Since the age of mass printing, it is critical thinking instead of reading that means literacy. How about the age mass digitalisation? What may actually means literacy? Marshal Mcluhan put forward the idea of media literacy. But what does that mean? Try content or what MM called "programmes" in various media (dialog, print, video, audio, twitter, blog) and see how we are actually influenced by media rather than content itself. And it is only on the personal level. Engineering the media is more important than delivering the message. Twitter may look toxic and violent at times, but seem nothing compared to television, which give audience almost no opportunity to think not to mention to argue or contribute. Twitter may not be the solution, but we are in dire need for a medium that allows meaningful and in-depth dialogs.
