Todays information age has progressed very rapidly that the world is suddenly controlled and overwhelmed by vast innovations the most dominant of which are the computers. The device has literally run every single detail of our lives that people are almost obliged to familiarize themselves with the nitty-gritty of the whole computer-age phenomenon. Likewise, the computer technology has hugely implicated the fields of economy and education. More specifically, it has posed its importance in college and workforce success. Hence, measures to promote computer literacy have been done to keep up with the pace of the present day affairs. By definition, computer literacy is "an understanding of computer characteristics, capabilities, and applications, as well as an ability to implement this knowledge in the skillful, productive use of computer applications suitable to individual roles in society" (as cited in Smith & Necessary, 1996). This paper probes on the connection of computer literacy on college education and workforce.
