It can be nice to find your echo chamber

I keep reacting negatively to suggestions that literacy especially expectations for reading and comprehension are somehow fundamentally new when transferred to a digital environment. If you are interested, you can review my position on that here if you are in INF533 currently.

It is nice to come across a reading that gives my opinion some academic credibility and support. In my first reading for INF533 today, Barbara Combes states:

Being digitally literate means being literate first and having digital literacy skills or competencies second. Such competencies include navigation and information management skills to ensure up-to-date, relevant sources are located in an accessible format, and sources are well organised and documented to enable the efficient retrieval of information.

(Combes, 2016, p. 5)

I could get used to the air in here, in here, in here.
