Digital Literacy Transformation: Opportunities and Challenges

The transformation of literacy in the digital era has changed how we understand and use information. Digital technology makes it easier to access information and learn. Still, it also presents challenges such as the spread of fake news, digital access gaps, and the negative impact of social media. This study discusses how traditional reading and digital literacy can complement each other to enhance the abilities of younger generations. By reviewing various studies, it is found that education plays a crucial role in bridging the digital literacy gap. Besides technical skills, young people also need to learn how to critically assess and evaluate information. Therefore, innovative education policies, broader access to technology, and more effective learning methods are needed to help them take advantage of opportunities in the digital era while overcoming its challenges.
