Howard Rheingold discusses his new book and topics related to 
"Net Smart: Introduction to fundamental social media literacies"

 

One important step that people can take is to become more adept at five essential literacies for a world of mobile, social, and always-on media: attention, crap detection, participation, collaboration, and network know-how. The effects of these literacies can both empower the individuals who master them and improve the quality of the digital culture commons.
