Ohmann made great points when he referred to computers, literacy, and technology. As I read, I thought about how computers are changing the way we think, teach, express ourselves, and make decisions about survival.  Technology is changing the world around us and it definitely forces us to make sure we understand how to use it.  I especially like the contrast between the way people were taught to write in the old days compared to now.  Literacy is a social group: This point stood out and made me think about how we communicate with each other.
