Abstract
Dr. Postman challenges the common assumptions that the literacy process is politically neutral and is the only, or even the best, avenue to jobs and aesthetic riches. He sees a predominantly literacy-based curriculum as obsolete and reactionary in the context of recent advances in electronic communications technology,and recommends broadening the base of school curricula to include "multimedia literacy."Keywords
