The first thing I did when I started this assignment was search the words ‘digital’ and ‘literacy’ to find some ideas on what to write about. The younger generation of today is sometimes referred to as the Google Generation because of how often they use search engines to find information. Google is used whenever somebody need something whether it is to settle a bet, find plane tickets, book at hotel or even figure out the speed of sound in km/h.

This video goes on the talk about have we have lost all privacy with Google Maps & Earth, and with how easy it has become to find information. Information that we didn’t even know was online.

I couldn't agree more and personally I can't imagine a world without access to the vast amount of information on the internet. Whenever I come across a problem, whether it’s with school work or otherwise, my first instinct is to Google it and no matter how obscure the question, there is almost always an answer. I have even used Google in the past to help me fix problems with my phone, my IPod, and even my car so it would be an understatement to say I’d be lost without it.
