Difference between types of literacy

There are a few types of literacy. Computer, information and integration literacy. Each is different to one another.
Information literacy is the ability to understand a problem when one occurs and start to investigate assemble information, gather information, process and apply the information and work towards a solution and see if it is effective in the whole process.
Computer information is ability to use computers and technology in wide ranges. That works along side of knowing the hard and soft ware of a computer. It also shows how comfortable a person might truly be with a computer and technology. Anything that has to do with computer from printing to just typing is knowing computer information.
Integration literacy is being able to use your knowledge, but also with the help of computers. Knowing how to use different websites, instead of just one is always helpful. All websites give additional information and might be more useful than the first one. It is also important to site the information found on these websites.
The literacy of the future will be very different from now. Now a days we use the computer for almost every aspect. I can only imagine what the future will hold. Classrooms might have computers conduct a lesson instead of a teacher. Technology will just continue to grow and that might cause a problem because technology could take over human jobs more then ever.
