This investigation into how computer technology is likely to change the practice of literacy, looks at three possible scenarios - it may increase people's powers as readers and writers, it may diminish literacy by substituting mechanical dexterity for critical insight or it may rock our concept of what it means to read and write, to be "literate", altogether - and suggests that our idea of literacy may be in the process of changing. It is aimed at MEd and BEd lecturers and students of language, literacy, literature and socialogy, education researchers, cross-culturalists and historians.
