Pese a que las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) son usadas cada vez con mayor frecuencia en funciones que antes eran privativas de los libros, los papeles manuscritos o incluso de la comunicación oral (por ejemplo con el chat y el correo electrónico), en el medio de la cultura escrita y, particularmente, de la promoción a la lectura se las mira con recelo. Los lamentos por la supuesta disminución de lectores y las elegías al libro y su rivalidad con el desarrollo tecnológico han impedido ver la variada gama de oportunidades que se han abierto para formar usuarios de la cultura escrita con mayores posibilidades de comprender y participar en la compleja realidad del mundo global.

Despite the fact that information and communication technologies (ICT) are being increasingly used in place of books, hand-written documents, or even oral communication, the world of written culture and reading remains skeptical of them. Lamentations about the supposed decline in reading and discussions of books as rivals of technological development have obscured the many opportunities that have emerged to give consumers of written culture greater possibilities to understand and participate in the complex reality of the globalized world.
