  • everything and everyone in the world casts an 'information shadow', an aura of data
  • credit card companies can predict with 98% accuracy, two years in advance, when a couple is going to divorce, based on spending patterns alone
  • His take on the education system, for example, is that it is a badly designed game: students compete for good grades, but lose motivation when they fail. A good game, by contrast, never makes you feel like you've failed: you just progress more slowly. Instead of giving bad students an F, why not start all pupils with zero points and have them strive for the high score?

    This is the fundamental obstacle to understanding where technology culture is heading: increasingly, it's about everything.

    Media literacy is the ability to sift through and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us every day. It's the ability to analyze all aspects of the media like music videos, online environments and the many advertisements in sports. There are three stages of media literacy. 1: BE AWARE. Know what you watch and limit the amount of time on the internet, television, games, and other forms that market to the masses. 2: BE ABLE TO QUESTION AND ANALYZE THE MEDIA. Learn to analyze what you are watching by observing what is in the advertisement and what is left out. 3: KNOW BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Ask questions like who produces the media we experience and for what purpose? Who profits? Who loses? And who decides? This analysis allows us to understand who drives our global economy and ultimately allows us to make better decisions based on our own opinions.

    My article is about what specifically media literacy is and how we can implement it into classrooms to give children a better understanding of our society. The article features 7 excerpts from other articles about media literacy, such as "The 3 Stages of Media Literacy", which states "the principles and practices of media literacy education are applicable to all media- from television to T-shirts, from billboards to the Internet". I believe that media literacy, while it is something that is not needed, can greatly enrich a person's life, especially in the society that we live in today that focuses so much on advertising and different forms of communication.
