Digital literacy is important to establishing your presence in the modern world. Lacking the ability to use digital technologies means that there are many things you simply cannot do or access. Possessing digital literacy allows you to improve efficiency, access to things, fulfillment, and happiness in your life.

As time goes on, more and more people are getting online and utilizing these technologies in their everyday lives, whether for work or at the home.
