Digital literacy in a landscape of data: a plea for a broader definition for citizens and patients
1St. Cloud Communications, Bellevue, WA, USA.
Abstract:
The term 'digital literacy' is taking on a broader definition and greater urgency, as ubiquitous computing becomes a reality, and individuals and communities find their bodies and actions creating an exuberant wellspring of rich, complex data. These biological and sociological data can be ignored, used alone or shared with others for various reasons - for personal or social good or ill. Although strategies to protect our data from commercial, criminal, and governmental access are already being debated daily in the media, this paper is a brief plea for why we need to expand our concerns beyond the current financial and medical record security issues.
