Digital literacy

The ability to find, evaluate, use, create, and communicate information using digital technologies, encompassing both technical skills (operating devices, using software) and critical thinking (evaluating online information, understanding privacy). Digital literacy is a significant accessibility concern for older adults and people with disabilities, as gaps in digital skills can compound barriers created by inaccessible design. Effective digital inclusion requires not just accessible technology but also appropriate training, support resources, and learning opportunities tailored to diverse skill levels.
