Introduction

Today’s society is shaped by sudden growth and development of Information

Technology (IT) resulting into its great dependency on the knowledge and

competence of individuals from the area of IT. Although this dependency is

growing day by day, the human right to education and information is not

extended to IT. Problems that affect the society as a whole are emerging

thereby creating gaps and distancing people from the main reason and

motivation for advancement-opportunity. Being a computer illiterate person

today prevents the person from participating in modern society, and deprives

him/her of opportunity; and despite the acknowledged necessity and benefits of

inclusive computer literacy from institutions like the European Commission,

UNESCO, OECD, there are groups of people facing difficulty in accessing basic

computer education. These groups include people with learning difficulties and

disabilities, migrant workers, unemployed and people living in remote (rural)

areas where IT education is not accessible.

This handbook, combined with other materials published on ITdesk.info,

represent our efforts and contributions to the realization and promotion of

human right to education and information in the area of Information Technology.

We hope that this education will help you master basic computer skills.

With that hope we wish that you learn as much as you can, and therefore become

an active member of modern ICT society.

Sincerely yours,

ITdesk.info team
