Technical illiteracy“In a digital age, we must learn to create the software, or risk becoming the software” by Rush off (Rushkoff). This quote helps in the document to support our positions against technical illiteracy and its impact on society. We live in the 21st century, take advantage of the benefits of scientific progress and consider ourselves civilized people. The future of society is not only learning new skills, using a computer, not only becoming a modern illiterate, but also making life and work extremely inconvenient. Illiteracy is illiterate people. The same is true in various dictionary definitions. Literacy and the written word have no impact on their lives and survival.

And how do these consequences relate to privacy, commerce and democracy? “Internet illiterate” is a word for everyone, but still strange enough, perhaps someone will ask: what is an “Internet illiterate”? In fact, already in 2005, when the United Nations defined three standards for the illiterates of the new century: the first is non-literate, these are old illiterates in the traditional sense; the second category is not recognized by modern society; the third category does not use computers for learning, communication and management of people, which is now the "Internet illiterate"..”
