Now that we see a play on the Ned Stark meme and feel every bit of that -20 wind chill, please realize that we have communicated in digital literacy. Or I at least attempted to. The latest trend of communication in this fashion was highlighted by Doug Belshaw in this gem of a TEDx Talk:
Will be become tech-illiterate?
As Belshaw explained the progression of everyday technology, he highlights those who are being left behind. As we get older, and technology becomes newer, our newest generations become far more advanced with technology, as it is in their hands since birth. I recall Christmas two years ago, when my then 3-year-old nephew received a "toy" tablet. Mind you, this is a working tablet, that allows children to play games, while at the same time learning basic arithmetic and alphabet related activities. Shortly there after, he is picking up his mother's iPhone and calling his grandmother. He was three!
How far will it go?
This laptop I am typing this on will be a brick in five years, stripped of it's internal gold plating and copper, laying in a dump somewhere, taking 3.4 million years to decompose. What will human beings consider the "latest technology" three generations from now, when we are all gone? Pop up holograms, when all you have to do is think about finding directions to the hover board store?
