My thoughts
The topic requires me to discuss why information literacy is essential in an
information society this means I have to discuss in facts the value or
importance of information literacy.
It will also be of good character if I also discuss few of the vital roles that
information literacy has played in an information society
Think outside of the box about ethics in the information society.
The word “discuss” means that I really need to talk thoroughly why information
literacy is important in an information society.
I think it will also be of importance if I include the machines tools of
information society because their also part of information society(ICTs)
