In this episode of Techabc, I delve into Digital Literacy ABC, a concept that emerged in the 1990s, shortly after the time when the world overcame the wave of “computer literacy”. At first, the term was understood as “the skills in using technology”, as argued by Paul Gilster in 1997 when he first coined the term.

In our present world, profoundly impacted by a rapid technological revolution, Digital Literacy has ascended to greater importance as society becomes increasingly intertwined with advancements such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), the metaverse, and digital twins.

So, what does ‘digital literacy’ mean in its present sense? According to UNESCO: “Digital literacy involves the confident and critical use of a full range of digital technologies for information, communication and basic problem-solving in all aspects of life.”

Digital literacy is the critical ability of our civilised society to find, evaluate, and communicate the most accurate form of information. From typing and managing digital media to using apps, understanding hardware and software, participating in social media, decoding data from sensors, and immersing ourselves in hybrid AR, VR, and MR platforms – digital literacy encompasses it all.
