Paper Abstract:
|
The Net-Generation refers to the generations that have grown up in the period following the paradigm shift resulting from the diffusion of the Internet into society at large. To be more precise, the Net-Generation includes the current generation already using the Internet and the next generation who were born into the world where the Internet is already popularized. In the past, reading, writing and the abacus were considered as the basics of education; however, in the current world of the post-paradigm shift, to be educated in the principles and use of information literacy is of equal significance. Information literacy differs from PC literacy, in that is requires the ability to read, understand and make a judgment about the information being accessed, as well as handling and utilizing the information to serve a specific purpose. For the Net-Generation it is imperative that they are educated in the subject of Information Literacy. I think that the power of analyzing information is important for much information since it can obtain. |
