From literacy to digiracy: Will reading and writing remain important?

This article from the May 16, 2008 issue of The Economist is provocative in its challenge to us as business people, educators, and, to a lesser extent, students.

The content aligns well with what has been the major themes of the recent annual symposiums (at least the last two; maybe the last three).

Are we doing anything different?  I don’t mean little things, but big things — things that embody a significant change in communications quality.  Quite frankly, I don’t think I am, and I find this a somewhat humbling, troubling conclusion.  Am I too set in my ways?  Do I lack the capability and capacity?  Am I too worried about trends that are, in the long run, insignificant?
