Digital Literacy by Anahi Carvalho

      In the present day, the digital inclusion is a factor that is being increasingly discussed within society, because it is one of the best ways to convey information. I think with the current globalized world and, given the advancement of technology, today's youth should have early access to information and digital media, in this words, they should be connected. The consumption of information by digital means is growing more each day by the fact that Brazil is one of the most connected countries. Children who have access to digital media in schools from primary school learn early to be informed and become familiar with the technology, using this access only for learning with moderate consumption. The technological advancement has transformed the computer into a tool, increasingly, indispensable human activities. This fact is easily verified in the simplest daily activities of people as in obtaining bank Shops in the purchase of goods in supermarkets and utilization of credit cards for payment. 

      The schools of basic education in Brazil include the computer as an additional resource to support teaching, placing it in the same category of books or educational films. Besides that, each day that passes is required basic computer knowledge as a prerequisite for obtaining employment in less skilled positions in companies. In fact, today's youth must have at least a basic knowledge of office and know how to access and use e-mail. The fact is that the computer is already integrated into people's lives and without it will be increasingly difficult to adjust the same in modern society. We can say that with all this, a large part of society is being widely benefited and benefit will be larger to the extent that more people are able to access the equipment of computer science and information through digital inclusion.
