Digitality in the 2000s has had a great impact on the world of education. The [[internet]] creates an abundance of easily accessible and globally diverse resources.<ref>{{cite journal | url=http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2001/07/05/reading-the-digital-future/ | title=Reading: The Digital Future | journal=The New York Review of Books | date=July 5, 2001 | access-date=April 14, 2016 | author=Jason Epstein| volume=48 | issue=11 }}</ref> The digitization of textbooks and other written texts reduces the demand for the print versions.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.project-disco.org/competition/112113-the-changing-textbook-industry/#.VxBFmPkrLrc | title=The Changing Textbook Industry | work=Disruptive Competition Project | date=November 21, 2013 | access-date=April 14, 2016 | author=Jonathan Band}}</ref> A vast majority of books now come with a digital version of the text that allows for easier access from anywhere. This applies to scholarly textbooks, religious texts, books, and other texts that would normally have to be found in physical form. Digitalism has also made it so that children are now presented with electronic knowledge at a very early age, resulting in the increased implementation of electronics in school systems (for example in [[Educational technology|electronic learning]], [[mobile learning]], and [[blended learning]]). Students and academics alike have adopted social media such as [[Facebook]], [[Twitter]], [[YouTube]], and blogging platforms to expand the horizons for learning.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Balakrishnan |first1=Vimala |last2=Gan |first2=Chin Lay |title=Students' learning styles and their effects on the use of social media technology for learning |journal=Telematics and Informatics |date=August 2016 |volume=33 |issue=3 |pages=808–821 |doi=10.1016/j.tele.2015.12.004 }}</ref>
