"A general trend of the development of media literacy as well as new media literacy is that the importance of media literacy is brought back to the educational agenda when there is a new media technology that causes collective anxiety in the society" (Lin 2010).

In other words, the introduction of a new technology brings technology back to the forefront again. New technology is almost treated like a new enemy, and in this light, instead of running away from it or even fighting it, we are taught to embrace it, strategically use it, and implement it into our daily lives. We are well aware this new technology may never go away; if anything it, it will further evolve into something else that we must come to learn and accept.
