How I see it digital literacy 1.0 was crude stimulus and not at all disguised, to get globally competitive in the new microprocessor wave, and in the late 70s and early 80s Japan, and to a lesser extent USA were players at the time. BASIC for school kids was like cod liver oil in the workhouse gruel. It made us strong. The "equaliser" worked out well for the few, ones like me, maybe you. Digital literacy 2.0 is a different project. It's to enable those two generations removed, who natural tech users facing de-stimulus and social warehousing, what that tech is really for and who really controls it. Keep at it.
