Blog#1- Chi Wai

According to the book, I found “The shift form orality to literacy and on to electronic processing engages social, economies, political, religious and other structure”, I think what the author want to say here is because of the social, economies, political, religious and other structure appeared, which makes people from just orality then shift to literacy. In the very old day, there was just oral during people’s daily live. Since people don’t have the skill of literacy. No one know the past things and events. As the society growing so fast, many people start to search the old culture and want to know more about the past, how the evolvement of human, how the society taking shape, etc. literacy then becomes an important element in people live at that time. In my personal view, I love literacy. I would say that literacy is a very important element in our daily live. No matter in school, work, or other places. Literacy is everywhere. For example, in school, the textbooks, assignments, etc. most of them involve with the literacy. Therefore, I agree that literacy basically engages with social, economies, political, religious and other structure.

Finally, I wan to talk about my experience of literacy. Using the oral to communicate to other instead of literacy is a good idea in people daily live. In our society now, many people are lazy to type the word and write the word, all they do is just using the electronic devices to do voice record instead of writing record. Like in China, we have a chatting APP call wechat that just recording someone’ voice to others instead of typing. I feel like many people now are not good at writing since they all using voice record. People might have to change this kind of life style to maintain the literacy culture. Otherwise, literacy will disappear in someday.
