Literacy

Literacy is the ability to understand something.  It can be applied to a variety of subjects and is used to demonstrate one's skill or knowledge in a certain area.


Literacy is the ability to understand something.  The manner in which literacy is measured changes over time, and has a different meaning to everybody.  In order to be literate, someone needs to understand the intricacies that are involved in the skill set.  For example, a technology literate person is aware that it is a general rule that one does not send multiple text messages back to back.  Somebody that knows how to text but sends multiple text messages quickly would not be considered a technology literate.
