Other Information:
Bricklin, creator of VisiCalc (the first successful spreadsheet program). He emphasizes that digital literacy implies a general knowledge of computers. “What does it mean to be computer literate? It does not mean knowing how to use a particular program, it means knowing how to use a computer. Car literate doesn’t mean knowing how to drive the particular car you learned on, it means being able to get into any car on any road and drive.”
