Branching Literacy

The modern hypermedia environments, such as the Internet, multimedia environments, and digital databases provide businesses and common users with a high degree of freedom in navigating through knowledge domains. In the past the limited computer environments enhanced linear ways of learning, because users were used to books and expected to work with digital environments in much the same way they read through books. Now digital technology involves the need to utilize non linear and branching information strategies. With communications, there are more and easier ways of communicating within a business. Such as e-mail, networking through facebook and most businesses utilized through this type of networking by hiring and doing back ground checks.
