Digital Literacy
‘urgently needed’
We urgently need to
expand our
understanding of
the risks we take
when we use
computers.

14. POSSIBLE SOLUTION
• Not put any private information on the internet; because it
can be spread easily and be restored even after deleted.
• Computer users need to be aware that the computer can do
things most people don't know of, and so it is quite easy to
get any information from it.
• What you put on the internet is open to everyone, so you
should never put anything you don't want anyone else to see
on the internet.
• An effective way to teach people would be to give online
courses and help people become responsible digital citizens.
