Computer literacy â€oerefers to the ability to use computers and related technologies, from end-users to ICT

Basic computer skills include (sample •turning a computer on and off •using a mouse and keyboard

•understanding basic computer terminology and concepts •understanding operating system, programmes, and data •managing files

Intermediate computer skills (sample •performing basic functions of common productivity programmes (word processing spreadsheet, presentation

•using email and web browser •installing software and hardware Advanced computer skills (sample •programming

•using advanced features of productivity programmes •fixing simple computer problems Computer literacy at the intermediate level is becoming required for almost every job.

In the health sector discussed in Chapter 3 for example, hospital employees must be able to use medical records systems

and perform other routine tasks on a computer that used to be done on paper.

Even in many jobs that do not entail contact with a computer employers are screening for

basic computer skills as a minimum qualification for employment. 117 An increasing number of non-IT
