Good or Bad for Literacy

Student literacy, how is it affected by technology?  If used correctly technology can be good, but it is like anything else, if used in the wrong way, it will harm our children.  Technology can be used to really get students involved.  It can be used as a way to increase interest.  It can be used to tell stories with pictures.  At the same time, there is so much information out there, that students can be overwhelmed with the amount of reading.  It can be used by students to find shortcuts which is not good.  I find myself sometimes playing on the Internet instead of doing my tasks that I need to do.  So does it help or hurt, it can do both.
