Computer Literacy
Informed citizens of our information-dependent society should be computer-literate, which means that they should be able to use computers as everyday problem-solving devices. They should be aware of the potential of computers to influence the quality of life. There was time when only privileged people had an opportunity to learn the basics, called the three R’s: reading, writing and arithmetic. Now, as we are quickly becoming an information society, it is time to restate this right as the right to learn reading, writing and computing. There is little doubt that computers and their many applications are among the most significant technical achievements of the century. They bring both economic and social changes. “Computing” is a concept that embraces not only the old third R, arithmetic, but also a new idea – computer literacy. Because computers have moved into society so rapidly and so completely, you need basic computer skills just to pursue your career goals and function effectively in society. In short, you need computer literacy, sufficient computer knowledge to prepare you for working and living in a computerized society. For many people, computer literacy means simply knowing which key to press. That knowledge is important, but isn’t enough. You need to understand some fundamental concepts about how computer systems are setup and how they work. In an information society a person who is computer-literate need not be an expert on the design of computers. He needn’t even know much about how to prepare programs which are instructions that direct operations of computers. All of us are ready to become computer-literate. Just think of your everyday life. If you receive a subscription magazine in the post-office, it is probably addressed to you by a computer. If you buy something with a bank credit card or pay a bill by check, computers help you process the information. When you check out at the counter of your store, a computer assists a checkout clerk and a store manager. When you visit your doctor, your schedules and bills and special services, such as laboratory tests, are prepared by computer. Many actions that you have taken or observed have much in common. Each relates to some aspect of data processing system.
