My thoughts about Wesch's video are very mixed. I suppose that his video is very interesting but indeed a little confusing. I was mostly confused about this video because I had no idea what this stuff was such as Hypertext, and digital text. After doing some research I discovered that Hypertext is text , displayed on the computer, with references (hyperlinks) to other text that the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or key number combination. This really cleared up alot and I was able to understand alot more about what I was reading. I thought it was very surprising that all this stuff we humans have created is in effect and most likely will always be acessable I never really gave much attention to this until after seeing this video. The New Literacy also show me alot about people and how technology can really change an era from one to another. Texting and Socializing using the internet and networks can really help people learn new vocab and speech. In conclusion, my feelings towards these two pieces of infomation have change dramaticly since I was first introduced to them.
