I think one of the best ways of doing this is to first look at what the term literacy means. If you say that someone is literate, it means that they can read, they can write, but it also is something more than that. It means that they have a mental framework for understanding a specific kind of topic.

So with that in mind, let's talk about digital literacy. There are many different forms of what digital literacy could represent. It could be a traditional kind of concept, such as being able to read or write code, but it actually extends much further than that.

It could be the ability to automate tasks. Imagine that you are an accountant, you may not ever build an actual program, but if you have digital literacy, you may have the ability to understand the way, one, how accounting software works, and two, you could build automated tasks in order to process all of your daily tasks in a more efficient manner.

By the end of this course, one of my top goals for you is that you'll have a mental framework for being able to understand how technology works. This could help you in any kind of career that you're in. If you're going to be a developer, these are the foundational topics that you need to understand in order to start writing code.

If you're going to be a project manager, this is going to help you communicate properly with whatever type of team you're working with. Even if you're not going to be a developer at all, these are going to give you the skills and the mindsets that you're going to need in order to have success in any field.
