computer.

SOCIAL ASPECTS

An article : Digital Literacy ‘urgently needed’

We urgently need to

expand our understanding of the risks we take when we

use computers.

• Not put any private information on the internet; because it can be

spread easily and be restored even after deleted.

• Computer users need to be aware that the computer can do

things most people don't know of, and so it is quite easy to get

any information from it.

• What you put on the internet is open to everyone, so you should

never put anything you don't want anyone else to see on the

internet.

• An effective way to teach people would be to give online courses

and help people become responsible digital citizens.
