A Digital Literacy Guide – Free Download
Whether you’re well-versed in Web 2.0 or not, Mark Briggs has written a great overview. You can order a hard copy version or download the PDF for free. The hard copy is only $10, and includes shipping within the US. If you take it to Kinko’s, you’ll pay a lot more. If you print it at home on your inkjet, you’re an unmitigated fool.
I’ve been online since 1992. If you count dialup BBSs, that pushes the provenance back another 6 years. I saw personal computing in an early and raw state. It’s a glorious time to be a computer user today.
The e-book has some basic concepts that I’ve digested before most MySpace users were born. However, I don’t mind reviewing stuff I already know. A fresh perspective can be gained, and I might learn of an easier way to explain it to others. It also preps my mind for the new information that’s coming my way.
Special thanks to David Hobby at Strobist for calling this to my attention.
