Digital Citizenship

 

    In short, digital citizenship is the responsible use of technology by anyone who uses computers or the Internet regularly, often creating blogs and being a part of social networks or online journalism. According to a British sociologist named Thomas Humphrey Marshall, a digital citizen needs to exist in order to promote equal economic opportunities and increase political participation.

    In order for someone to fully participate and realize their presence on the Internet, they must possess a quality level of reading comprehension. "The average government web site, for example, requires an eleventh-grade level of reading comprehension, even though about half of the U.S. population reads at an eighth-grade level or lower". So despite all of the information on the Internet, education plays a large part in digital citizenship.
