A Universal Imperative: Digital Literacy

I'm sorry, what, Wikipedia?

"Digital literacy is an individual's ability to find, evaluate, and communicate information by utilizing typing or digital media platforms. It is a combination of both technical and cognitive abilities in using information and communication technologies to create, evaluate, and share information."

That shockingly literal interpretation of taking the meaning of digital and literate and combining them just doesn't cut it for a term that is starting to hold such high importance in every business.

Digital Literacy is the foundational knowledge that Every. Single. Person. should be building to ensure that they understand how to leverage technology, and how it is shaping the future of work.
