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.
