Knowing a language meant only deciphering its alphabet to understand the world. Today, however, we are subjected to a data bombardment unlike any in history, standing before screens. As letters give way to batteries, pixels, emojis, and algorithmic flows, the very definition of traditional literacy is being shaken at its foundations. Simply being able to rea
