THE CONCEPT OF COMPUTER LITERACY

Why one should learn about computers? Apart from the curiosity factor (and perhaps also because it is one of the compulsory subjects in many schools and tertiary institutions), we might have realized that it was difficult for a person to continue to live a day without the basic knowledge about computers. Following are three key concepts needed to clarify what is meant by computer literacy.

AWARENESS

We realize the importance of computers, multi-use and importance in the community.

KNOWLEDGE

We understand the concept of how a computer system developed and how it works.

INTERACTION

We were able to interact with the computer in other words, able to use a computer in the performance of specific applications.

In general, the computer literacy can be defined as sufficient knowledge to be available to a person to use a computer application and live in a computer-oriented society today.

Lack of the knowledge base can also cause a person hit by computer phobia syndrome, a syndrome of fear computers.
