Computer literacy is the ability to use computers and related technologies efficiently, with skills ranging from basic to advanced programming and advanced troubleshooting. With other measures, computer skills require an understanding of computer programming and how computers work.

In the United States
Primary and secondary education
In the United States, students are introduced to tablet computers in preschool or kindergarten. Tablet computers are preferred for small sizes and touch screens. The touch-tablet user interface is more accessible to the less developed children's motor skills. Early childhood educators use student-centered instruction to guide young students through various activities on tablet computers. Often these include web browsing and application usage, familiarizing young students with a basic level of computer proficiency.
Teaching computer literacy to students in high school can improve their thinking skills and work skills, but most teachers do not have the understanding and class time to teach computer programming.
Nataraj (2014) found that many new students in the United States have inadequate computer skills. After new students complete computer literacy courses, there is a significant increase in their understanding of the subject matter.

In the US job market, computer illiteracy severely limits job options.
Non-profit organizations such as Per Scholas seek to reduce the gap by offering free and low-cost computers to children and their families in underserved communities in the South Bronx, New York, Miami, Florida, and in Columbus, Ohio.
