In this year's report, digital literacy was ranked first in "hot list" and 13th in "importance list". The International Law Association defines digital literacy as teaching digital literacy "how to use digital technology for composition and communication and how to understand and evaluate digital form of information". In fact, this is not a valuable use of precious time during the academic year. Drilling deeper into the report, the ILA has shared two quotes that help to put some of the ideas in the context in context. Cameroon's Literacy Coordinator says: "Digital literacy is being overstated ... From support to independence, modeling, critical thinking is far more important than demo models," says a school administrator in Liberia.

Why choose Digital Culture? In order to expand traditional culture, various terms have come out in recent years. Digital literacy can be regarded as one of the niches; but this book deals for digital literature problems and for very specific reasons. The reason for this will be clarified later in this chapter, but let us first look at the neighborhood to determine the size of this new cultural community before we enter the base. Foundation - digital literacy. We define some other types of literacy and culture and in the process provide a background for finding the concept of digital culture as it penetrates books. These new literatures have the following types.

Digital culture is a perfect representation of basic skills to manage information and communication in the rapidly changing and increasingly digitized world of the 21st century. The term digital literacy is plural (eg literature) because it contains a wide range. There is only one digital literacy. In addition, this figure is the most appropriate descriptor as it recognizes that technology has an irreversible effect on literacy and will continue to continue. The term new culture is increasingly used in the same context as described herein. However, replacing the word digital with a new word, there is a possibility that something may be out of the list when it is not cutting edge. Other methods only narrow the scope of literacy and further exclude basic elements that can not be ignored in the treatment of comprehensive literacy.
