Selfe, Cynthia L. "Technology and Literacy: A Story about
the Perils of Not Paying Attention." CCC 50.3 (1999): 411-436.
Abstract:
Selfe observes that deeply ingrained humanist traditions keep composition professionals from paying attention to the linkages between technology and literacy. Discomfort with technology has kept it in the background, making increased educational and social inequities resulting from the tech-literacy link less visible, implying an unethical negligence on the part of the profession.
