On this episode of Data Bites we have a confession to make! That is, on Monday's episode we gave a definition of "Digital Literacy" that encompassed five subareas descriptive of the notion. The confession we need to make is that there are well over 100 different definitions of Digital Literacy, and there is no general consensus about the best one. On top of that, on Monday, we discussed the challenges of training generations that are not digital natives in the ways relevant to some notion of digital literacy. However, this discussion of education, while important, does not take into account nearly half the world that lacks even basic internet access.So, today's Data Bites presents the many topological challenges associated with the complex notion of Digital Literacy and asks the question whether this notion is really the hallmark of citizenship in the 21st Century!To keep up with the podcast be sure to visit our website at datacouture.org, follow us on twitter @datacouturepod, and on instagram @datacoutu
