Media Fluency

  The importance of digital fluency has increased due to the rapid increase in technology capability. There are two main focuses when it comes to digital fluency. The first is media consumption. This is the taking in of information. The second is media production. Media production deals with the production aspect of technology (Crockett, n.d.). Each individual's focus on digital fluency is vital to understand. First, media consumption involves the gathering and understanding of information, which requires active participation. As data is gathered, the consumer must sift through it to verify what is accurate and what isn't (Mesquita et al., 2024). Understanding the correct use of technology and recognizing those with an agenda is crucial for the validity of the information output. When false information is gathered from any number of sources, such as digital news or a blog post, it can force misinformation to be spread by the consumer (Mesquita et al., 2024). Once a person...

Replacement or Enhancement

       No one can deny the importance of technology in today's society. It is difficult to find any job or activity that doesn’t require some level of technology to be added to it.

Digital Rights

  If you walk down the street and ask if a person has a full right to privacy, most would say that they do. These people would be correct about their physical security. However, when our rights were created, we were in a non-digital age. When it comes to digital rights, it gets a lot more complicated. There is no clear explanation of our rights when it comes to digital access (Gondwe, 2023). It is widely known that everything that is done online leaves a digital footprint. This digital footprint has been hacked or illegally accessed throughout the past few decades. It's scary to know that anything you do or say on a digital device could be stored somewhere and accessed by anyone you don't want to know your information. The current law, as written, allows the general public to dictate what is perceived as the digital rights to privacy for individuals. The problem is that many people don’t understand that their perceptions of their digital rights to privacy are incorrect (Cal...
