Digital literacy will probably be of great value for health, According to Antonowsky, sense of coherence, is most important for health (Antonowsky, 2005). Digital Literacy might give a "sence of coherens" Digital literacy gives an opportunity to be social, find friends, a way of belonging, of beeing seen. And maybe Digital literacy will give social status, making you visible, giving value. Digital literacy in earning money like som bloggers do, they live on digital literacy. Digital literacy might it be seen as some kind of Marketing ? Marketplace for your Identity - as you want to bee seen. Giving your footprints.
Digital literacy and health is already here - Like in E-health, internet for elderly and sick. And now Digital literacy för students and their teachers. You might think ,,knowledge whats that ?
Knowledge as private information shared with a very small number of people. Or knowledge as debate, as twitter, free for everybody. What difference does it all make? When anyone can spread thoughts to anyone who want to listen ? Will there be a black market of information/knowledge. So what will happen with academia when knowledge is free online?
A lot of questions arises: Is it legitimate to discuss my thought? What will happen if I spread my thoughts to anyone who listens? Is Academia for the privileged ? institutions or individuals?
