Not only is our definiton of literacy dependent on the environment but it is affected by the ever evoliving society it is in. Our definition of literacy is constantly evolving, just like our societies. What you needed to be literate in 200 years ago is not what is required in the present day. 200 years ago you did not have to be able to work a computer. Today we dont necessarily have to be able to ride a horse. Our literacy requirements is constantly evolving and changing with our society.
