Digital literacy is the set of attitudes, understanding and skills to handle and communicate information and knowledge effectively, in a variety of media and formats. It is plainly an essential life skill.
Modern technology can lead us now in a better life. Everything can be done faster, lesser burden and cheaper everything with the help of computers. Computers are just as common as pen and paper for writing, especially among us youth. For many applications - especially communicating- computers are preferred over pen, paper, and typewriters because of their ability to duplicate and retain information and ease of editing. Telephones and cellphones help us to communicate to our loved ones in other countries. Connecting to the internet can also let us see their faces and talk to them.Now with the help of these technologies, we can improve our English Proficiency. Although students in the past have focused on developing literacy skills such as reading, writing, and numeracy, we, the 21st-century students must develop multiple literacies that will allow us to respond to changing ideas, attitudes, and technologies as our communities and the world evolve.
English Proficiency improves our Digital Literacy and vice versa. But we should always remember that technology should always and only be use in a good way for us not to harm other people.
