An average 6.8 billion people are online researching, using, originating, exchanging and sharing information, goods and services. That gives the web a population the size of a country. However, only 13.5% of the global web population is of the USA; interpreted nationally around 27% of Americans are digitally literate and about 3.5% are Black with less in other cultures. While some 60% of Americans own computers, only 19% are using them competitively as producers. That means most of us aren’t prepared for the often discussed impact of global communications on our local economy, work, skills and lifestyle. Most people still find computer technologies, software and the web intimidating. Nonetheless, these tools and resources are immediately necessary to record our history, define our heritage, tell our news and share our wealth of different cultures, resources, solutions and more.
