Computer Literacy: Essential in Today's Computer-Centric World

摘要

Computer literacy is a fundamental part of undergraduate curriculum today. Computer literacy is as basic to undergraduate students as the course work in core curriculum in today's computer-centric information age. The number of computers-in-use worldwide is growing, especially in the developing countries. Computers affect every facet of our lives and every sector of the global society. Employers prefer workers who are computer literate because they are more productive and efficient at work than those who are not computer literate. This paper focuses on computer literacy and its benefits to people of all ages - children, teenagers, adults and seniors. I also describe the implementation of computer competency requirement at Belmont Abbey College and the process students follow to satisfy this requirement in order to graduate.
