Digital Illiteracy

On The Media
'"This week a study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that only one in six users of internet search engines can tell the difference between “unbiased” search results and paid advertisements. Most people can tell the difference between, say, a television show and infomercials. But digital literacy, it seems, continues to elude us. Deborah Fallows, who authored the Pew study, explains to Brooke why our digital confidence still exceeds our abilities."
Note:Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
