It means having the knowledge and ability to use a range of technology tools for varied purposes.

People who don't have access to tools of 'Digital literacy' are at a disadvantage: Adobe CEO. If someone does not have access to “digital literacy” at this age despite the increasing affordability of tools, he/she is at a loss, Shantanu Narayan, President and CEO of Adobe, said at an annual creativity conference here.
When asked about the adoption of Adobe’s creative tools updates in India, especially at a time when India is riding on a Digital India wave, Narayan told IANS: “Specifically with respect to India, we had issues like piracy. Now with the affordability of creative loud, the tools are more accessible to customers and I believe those who do not have access to ‘digital literacy’ at this age, they are at a disadvantage for the rest of their lives.” Talking to reporters on the first day of the Adobe Max 2016 creativity conference here, he noted that the company believes everyone has a story and our tools make it easy for them tell a story by making them more accessible.

Media Literacy Week, which runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4, celebrates the theme of "Makers and Creators" this year: parents and teachers are encouraged to help kids become more creative, innovative and entrepreneurial by embracing media production, remixing, maker and do-it-yourself culture and coding.

Digital literacy the most sought after competency by employers. KUCHING: At 3.5 percent in July, unemployment in Malaysia is at its highest since 2013 and continues to rise.
This issue coupled with weak wages and job-growth has given cause for concern among Malaysians who placed the mounting cost of living as the No.1 priority for Budget 2017. These rising concerns coupled with the fact that almost 200,000 fresh graduates are unemployed, INTI commissioned a landmark survey between 316 employers and new graduates in Malaysia to better understand the demands of the increasingly competitive job market. Survey findings revealed several gaps in expectations between employers and new graduates in terms of the competency deemed essential to excel at a job.
The most pressing dichotomy in expectation concerned digital literacy, where 30 per cent of employers regarded it as the most essential competency needed for job performance while most graduates rated it as the least important competency at only four per cent.
