THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL LITERACY AND THE INTERNET

The American Library Association defines digital literacy as “the ability to use
information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and
communicate information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills.”

Digital literacy includes something most of us do daily: the ability to check
and read our emails on a digital device like our cellphone or tablet.

Digital literacy is also the ability to conduct online research to learn more
about a subject, either for personal knowledge, work or school. 

Simply using a search engine to discover an answer to a question or creating a
profile of yourself on a social media account are examples of your digital
literacy. 

According to Statista, over 90% of Americans have internet access. The internet
has proven to be an invaluable tool in our daily lives, especially since the
onset of the worldwide pandemic in 2020 drove our workplace, educational
institutions, grocery stores and even our medical offices online.

Digital literacy is important for all stages of our lives, from young students
attending school virtually to older computer users accessing their doctor or
staying in touch with family.





6 REASONS WHY DIGITAL LITERACY CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE


1. MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Being social is in a human’s nature and staying in touch with our family and
friends can benefit our mental health. In fact, “social media has become a
source of internal healing for a lot of senior citizens battling depression,”
according to the Miami Home Care Services. 


2. INCREASED SAFETY

With digital literacy comes understanding good online safety practices that can
help to increase your safety – from protected passwords to recognizing signs of
spam.


3. SAVE TIME

Being digitally literate can save you time, whether you have an online
appointment call with your doctor, do your shopping online or take a virtual
class. Think of all the time you save by not driving, standing in line, etc. 


4. SUPPORTS LIFELONG SKILLS

Nearly everything we do requires some level of digital literacy. Many companies
require an online application or an emailed resume to apply for open positions.
Our patient portals are online, as are many government assistance agencies. 


5. HELPS EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS

Not only will digital literacy help your student with research and social
skills, but it will also allow them to learn how to stay safe online. 

Post-pandemic, many educational institutions have adopted a hybrid approach to
education, with most classes being held in person, but some assignments and
classes are still accessible online. Parents can often access their student’s
classroom portal and keep track of grades and assignments, as well as handle
communications with educators. 


6. CLOSE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE

Access to technology in our post-pandemic world is essential. However, there is
still a digital divide in the U.S., mostly in rural areas, but also in pockets
of urban areas. 

The digital divide is the division between individuals who have access to
computers and high-speed internet and those who do not. 

For students, this is particularly worrisome, as they risk falling behind their
classmates. According to a Pew Research Center survey, “24% of teens living in
lower-income households often or sometimes are unable to complete homework due
to lack of reliable computer or internet access.”




To combat the digital divide, the federal government has implemented the
Affordable Connectivity Program, which partners with internet service providers
to offer high-speed internet plans for $30/mo., which will allow anyone
qualified to receive the $30/mo. stipend from the Affordable Connectivity
Program (ACP) to get internet service for free.
