Reflection:
There are some things in life that has to change, including being transliterate.
Transliteracy is a term that even some libraries are unfamiliar with.
Transliteracy is about combing text literacy, visual literacy and digital
literacy to see their relations to one another and to see how they interact
with one another. Transliteracy is about dissecting the relationship between
technology and people. The article “Introducing Transliteracy”, written by Tom
Ipri, raises a good question of whether transliteracy should be “set in stone”
as a skill. In my opinion, it should be because soon people will not be able to
function properly without it in society. Eventually, everyone will have to
learn this “skill” in order to be productive. How much of this will be
teachable, I believe all depends on the different levels of transliteracy there
will be. Just as there are different grade levels of literacy, the basics is
what should be taught, which is where the libraries would come into play.
However, there won’t be a way to fully be aware of this, until, transliteracy
becomes more developed.
