Digital literacy


Nowadays the technology is dominating the world. Everything that we know today exist just because of the technological advances. The globalization provided that the whole world could be connected by internet or computers. The ease way to achieve some of these products like cell phones, tablets, computers or video games have increased the connection around the world more and more. Those new technologies are part of our daily life, but is not as simple to be handle to whom never have used them before. In my opinion, children should take computer's classes from youngest age, or make contact with those new technologies as soon as possible. They might learn how to use the physical product as well the software (programs), so that they can to familiarize themselves faster and the simplest way. Currently in high schools, colleges or in the actual market is necessary that people know how use or handle computer programs because they need to do their projects, homework or their jobs. We need to know how use those programs to do easy things from doing an article until more complex things, such as using statistics programs. I think that is very important when you start use the computer when you are still young because this contact will be useful in the future; however, the access to technology should be controlled by parents in order to be healthy for their kids. Due to the faster development of new types of digital entertainment, using those tools through the youth is very common and it is now part of our daily life. According to this reason the knowledge in this area is so important and must be used healthfully.
