If you aren't literate, life is hard.
If you aren't digitally literate, life is hard.
The problem is some people were 50 years old when the the 2nd statement became true. For nearly everyone alive, the first statement has always been true. I think the government is failing its citizens by assuming digital literacy is commonplace.

Males aged 15 and over have a literacy rate of 90%, while females lag only slightly behind at 82.7%. However, massive country-to-country differences exist. Developed nations almost always have an adult literacy rate of 96% or better. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/literacy-rate-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/literacy-... (In case anyone else read the above comment and thought these numbers sounded low.)
- seabass-labrax 3y agoWhat is the average literacy rate among drivers? Considering that street signs exist, I would imagine almost all countries require a basic ability to read as a pre-requisite for a licence.
