Understanding Literacy Across Generations

Literacy is defined as the ability to read, write, and comprehend information for practical use. The current generation is considered more literate than those who used clay tablets due to enhanced information processing and technological skills. While both past and present generations are literate, excessive reliance on technology can hinder true literacy, and formal writing is viewed as the most challenging due to its strict rules.

something that we can use in our life. And literacy hels us understand and create meaning that we can
use to achieve our goals.

2. Are people today less literate than the people who used clay tablets to record their thoughts? Explain
your answer.

- For me the people in our generation right now are more literate than people before who used clay
tablets, because, now they have the ability to process information faster than before as their skills to
comprehend and understand are honed not just the ability to understand but also when in terms of
technology aspect. As everyone seems to be media/technology literates.

3. What about the generation that uses more gadgets than people who used paper and pen? Who do
you think is more literate?

technological speaking it depends on the people that uses gadgets because too much uses of technology
because sometimes can ruin us as we depend or rely too much on gadgets that somehow makes a
person less literate.

4. Which writing is the most difficult to learn for you? Why?

- I think formal way of writing is a bit difficult as it follows rules and should be organized for the
recipients/readers to fully understand what you want to say.

- Yes. Because for me it is a bit tricky because it have so much rules.
