Leveraging Technology Literacy for All Levels Regardless of Cultural Background or Disability

If Covid-19 has taught society anything it has taught that we are all living on one world in a global marketplace. Each community is not an island unto themselves. What affects one can very easily affect another. This is not always bad news. With the rapid advancements in technology the world has seen in the last twenty years we are able to pass those advancements on to our neighboring communities. If those neighbors have the technology understanding. If the workforce is prepared to teach the technology to the neighbors if the technology is modified for whatever disability or language needed. And if the technology does not further isolate or illuminate the privileged or disabled.

After this occurs, a true Technology Literacy adoption can begin and a universal scaling of all technology of from natural language processing to papers involving data science frameworks will be able to have a universal numbering system. This will help teach technology literacy skills to those that need it in various fields (i.e. job placement, correction reentry initiatives, hospital medical technology for patients, scaling of basic home technology, etc.).   Health literacy began in the 1970’s but did not get world-wide prominence until the 1990’s. Then it was determined it is a basic human right to understand how we receive, interpret and act on information. … ALL information. This includes the abundance of societies technological advances. However, just as everyone is not on the same healthcare literacy starting point, (nor do they need to be), society is far from being on the same technology literacy starting point. This is where Emerging Technologies begins.
