Computer literacy is the ability to use computers and related technology efficiently, with a range of skills covering levels from elementary use to programming and advanced problem solving.[1][2] By another measure, computer literacy requires some understanding of computer programming and how computers work.[3]Computer literacy is different from digital literacy.Digital literacy refers to the ability to communicate or find information from the Internet. Digital literacy improves computer literacy to a certain extent. In fact, there is no wrong to say digital literacy is different from computer literacy. Computer literacy is a part of digital literacy, but it is because of the popularization of computer literacy that Numbers have been widely used that computers have made Numbers more flexible to some extent.

In the United Kingdom[edit source]

In the United Kingdom, the BBC Computer Literacy Project, which ran from 1980 to 1989, educated a generation of coders in schools and at home, prior to the development of mass market PCs in the 1990s.[4][5]

The ZX Spectrum, released in 1982, helped to popularize home computing, coding and gaming in Britain and was also popular in other countries.[6][7][8]

On development, many computers have long since evolved to use data computing, and now use computers in three standard ways: batch, online, and real-time. Reading and writing are involved in almost every activity part of the computer. When memory is read, the computer puts the contents of one location into the public part and enters it into another location.

Primary and secondary education[edit source] See also: Education in the United Kingdom

Computer programing skills were introduced into the National Curriculum in 2014.[9][10]

"Subject Writing" is in computer science education. Researchers who study computer learning advocate establishing a link between learning, reading and writing. This will make the computer education autonomous. The study and understanding of computer is suitable for students of all ages. But this new way of writing also caused a certain impact on the old way of writing, which impeded the development of computer writing. Students whose major is computer science will also improve their reading and writing skills if they can enhance the introduction and use of computer literacy. Computers will also be further developed.

Teaching computer literacy to students in secondary school may improve their thinking skills and employability, but most teachers lack the understanding and classroom time to teach computer programming.[17] Teachers should recognize the importance of computer education. If students can improve the introduction and use of computer literacy, their reading and writing skills can also be improved. Computers will also be further developed.

Nataraj (2014) found that many college freshmen in the United States had insufficient computer skills. After freshmen completed a computer literacy course, there was a significant improvement in their understanding of the course material.[18]

As the most extensive and promising computer users, freshmen should learn to distinguish between computer knowledge and computer programming, know which skills they want to improve, and be more purposeful and accurate. Only by learning more about computer literacy can we discover more computer functions that are worth using. The justificatory arguments for computers in classrooms are primarily vocational or practical. They are based on assumptions that computers will be pervasive in the workplace of the future, or that they are soon going to be 'everywhere'.

Digital divide[edit source] Main article: Digital divide in the United States In the US job market, computer illiteracy severely limits employment options.[19]

Non-profit organizations such as Per Scholas attempt to reduce the divide by offering free and low-cost computers to children and their families in underserved communities in South Bronx, New York, Miami, Florida, and in Columbus, Ohio.[20]

With more interaction between computer brands and technology types (audio, video, communications, etc), rapid changes in technology make it very difficult to predict the next five years. And the computer literacy project has the support of the education authorities in Slovenia and believes this is because it conforms to general political and economic principles dominated by the neo-liberal vision of central and Eastern eastern Europe. The web offers great hope for the effective and widespread dissemination of knowledge and for the integration and coordination of technological advances. It is important to improve computer literacy.
