Computer Literacy, knowledge and an understanding of computers combined with the ability to use them effectively. Computers are sometimes thought—unjustifiably—to demand deep technical knowledge or proficiency in mathematics and electronics. In actuality, computers, like any other discipline, inspire different levels of expertise. On the least specialized level, computer literacy involves knowing how to turn on a computer, start and stop simple application programs, and save and print information. At higher levels, computer literacy becomes more detailed, involving the ability of the “power users” to manipulate complex applications and, possibly, to program in languages such as BASIC or C. At the highest levels, computer literacy leads to specialized—and technical— knowledge of such topics as electronics and assembly language.
