Computer Literacy
Computer literacy is defined as the knowledge and ability to use
computers and related technology efficiently, with a range of skills covering
levels from elementary use to programming and advanced problem solving. Computer
literacy can also refer to the comfort level someone has with using computer programs and other applications that are
associated with computers. Another valuable component of computer
literacy is knowing how computers work and operate. Having basic computer skills
is a significant asset in the developed countries.
The precise definition of "computer literacy" can vary from group to group.
Generally,literate connotes one who can read any arbitrary book
in their native language[s], looking up new words as they are exposed to them.
Likewise, an experienced computer professional may consider the ability to
self-teach (i.e. to learn arbitrary new programs or tasks as they are
encountered) to be central to computer literacy. In common discourse, however,
"computer literate" often connotes little more than the ability to use several
very specific applications for certain very well-defined
simple tasks, largely by rote. Being "literate" and "functional" are generally taken to mean the
same thing.
This Book gave me the overall meaning of Copmuter world beggining from past ending to modern Supernatural compters as I call them. And I'm going to difine Computer literacy in these 12 chapters , what I learnt , what We practice and what skills can offer compter literacy and what essentials we need for using and pretending the world of computers
And Finally, The highest goal of a computer-literate person is to be able to learn and use new computer programs without large amounts of help. Computer literacy gives people of all ages an edge in both their careers and education.
