Why Technological Literacy Matters

Technological literacy is not the same as being a software engineer.

It can mean understanding enough about technology to:

  • use relevant tools
  • understand basic digital processes
  • evaluate technology
  • learn new systems
  • recognise limitations
  • work effectively with technical professionals

The level required depends on the career.

A financial professional, teacher, designer and engineer will not need identical technological capabilities.

But increasingly, professionals need some ability to operate within technology-enabled environments.
