Since millennials are already denigrated as selfish, egotistical monsters eating up the world’s precious supply of avocado toast, I may as well admit that the technological shifts in the consumption of television over the past decade have felt suspiciously timed to my generation’s development.
One of the problems I've had for a while with traditional digital literacy programs is that they tend to see digital literacy as a separable skill from domain knowledge.
