Abstract

Instead of making the post-literacy discourse more sophisticated, we approach the changing nature and complexity of information literacy from transforming social practice, elaborating the characteristics of three new “clusters” of information literacies. The main reason to define and discuss newborn literacies, transforming literacies and “hyperpeople literacies” is the emerging world of “Internet of Everything”, as a complex symbolic and transactional environment. In planning for this era we have to use “human technology”, social innovation and design thinking aspects.

This research was realized in the framework of the TÁMOP 4.2.2.A/2-11-1-2012-0001 “National Excellence Program – Elaborating and operating an inland student and researcher personal support system convergence program” key project, which is subsidized by the European Union and Hungary and co-financed by the European Social Fund.
