Opening New Media to Writing

I think one of the main ideas that I took from this excerprt was the idea of NEW being different, and obviously altering the way we think. But even though she relates this idea to a rug being pulled out from under you, I don't think it's a bad thing. On page 1 she quotes from the author of Writing Space who says, "What will be lost is not literacy itself, but the literacy of print, for electronic technology offers us a new kind of book and new ways to read and write."  So again, the idea of NEW not as a bad thing, but just different. And in those differences are many possibilities for the future of readers, writers and teachers.
