commercial and
sometimes extremist
agendas.

“Information Literacy is defined as the ability
to know when there is a need for information,
to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and
effectively use that information for the issue
or problem at hand.”

information and communication technologies
to find, understand, evaluate, create, and
communicate digital information, an ability
that requires both cognitive and technical
skills”

and human intervention
have ceased to exist there”
