I like reading news and giving myself up to date and aware of what’s going on and what’s happening around the world. So I’m going to talk a little about a piece of news that I came across while I was browsing the net last week. This article was shared by a well-known tech blog that I follow, and discussed how having limited computer skills, limited computer knowledge can make people feel disconnected from the world around themselves. And they might be out of touch with the modern world. Consequently, they might have a very narrow view of the world around themselves. It highlighted the importance of continuously learning about technology, about computers, to stay relevant. The people involved were researchers who have been studying the impact of digital literacy on individuals’ lives. And when I read that news, I felt really motivated to improve my own computer skills and broaden my mind. And I also found it really interesting, particularly interesting, because it encouraged me to improve my skills, improve my technology knowledge. And also, I can say that this news was a very enriching news I’ve ever read.
