Digital literacy before this decade was a thing of serious thing because we were in the era of analogue life. But since the twenty first century has started, everything is now being digitalized. That's why even where the formal education is being taught, to have knowledge about digital life is now becoming an important thing to the extent that those that educated but not digitally literate are now going back to have basic knowledge about digital life.
Digital literacy is having the knowledge, skills and ability to interact and communicate through the technical means with anything that has to do with you being able to interact with anything that has to do with technical skills like using of Google search engine, checking your email, ability to make use of your mobile application to get what you want online and many more.
Advantages and productivity attached with being digital literate?
Presently, having knowledge about digital is already putting you ahead of others in the labour market. That's why we have many unemployment graduates around languishing on the street looking for job here and there, this is because they have no or little knowledge about digital life. Most of them have known this, that's why most of them are enrolling to learn one or two things about digital life. Imagine someone who's a graduate but couldn't operate or help himself to execute or solve problems online. Solely, others who are knowledgeable about digital skills are already ahead of such person.
