The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing- Douglas Engelbart
In a world where technology is quickly becoming one of the most valuable assets, digital awareness is an undoubtedly essential part of every aspect of human life. Without it, we’d be lost in a tech-driven world that we don’t understand.
But, wait! How many of us are digitally well aware? Here are the eye-opening figures-
According to NSSO (National Sample Survey Office) data, only 23.4% of urban households and 4.4% of rural households own a computer. In fact, only 42% of urban households and 14.9% of rural households with a computer have active Internet connections. As people are more digitally active around the country, and even in these figures it makes it all the more crucial to see how literate they are digitally and helps them evaluate the information online with the help of these resources.
