Michele Knobel and Colin Lankshear define new literacies as literacies made up of two new kinds of 'stuff' being 'technical suff' and 'ethos stuff'', where the technical stuff is digitality and involves digital electronic equipment like a computer ... so you can use technical tools like photoshopping etc. combined with text or remixed clips or whatever to send to a pserson group or the whole world in next to no time. The 'ethos stuff' is more of a mindset, which says the world has been changed by the world being joined to cyberspace that has to be accounted for along with the physical world. This new cyber mindset, for Knobel and Lankshear inform new literacies.
