A few posts ago I discussed digital natives – people born before 1980 who supposedly have excellent digital skills. This assumption was challenged by teachers and others, and now a report from the eBorger (eCitizen)-test shows that 46,8 % of 15-year olds who took the test failed. Students at university are not much better. 36 % of students at finnmark university college scored so low in the test that they need more training if they are to become effective e-citizens.
The test measures basic computer and Internet skills needed to be an effective computer user).
Bernt Nilsen, CEO of the test center, says that “kids use computers, but not for what their future employers wants them to”
