📖 Reading Passage

The concept of 'digital literacy' has evolved significantly over the past decade. Initially, it referred simply to the ability to operate computers and navigate the internet. However, contemporary scholars argue that true digital literacy now encompasses a critical understanding of how digital platforms shape information, including issues of algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the spread of misinformation. This broader definition requires individuals not only to consume digital content but also to evaluate its source, recognize persuasive techniques, and understand the economic models that drive online engagement. In educational settings, this shift has prompted a move away from purely technical instruction toward fostering analytical skills. Research suggests that students who receive training in critical digital literacy are better equipped to identify unreliable information and participate more thoughtfully in online civic discourse, yet many curricula still lag behind this evolving necessity.
