"La nouvelle génération d'écoliers et d'étudiants (entre 6 et 25 ans), utilise naturellement et plus qu'aucune autre précédente les ordinateurs, les tablettes, les liseuses numériques et les smartphones. « Génération Y » ou encore «  Digital native », elle est née avec internet et s'est familiarisée dès son plus jeune âge avec les nouvelles technologies."

This report presents the results of an investigation of experts' views on digital competence for all, commissioned by the Joint Research Centre's Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC‐ IPTS). The objective of this investigation was to provide another perspective on what it means to be digitally competent today, in addition to reviews of literature 4 and current frameworks for the development of digital competence, 5 all of which constitute part of the wider IPTS Digital Competence Project (DIGCOMP). Some common ground exists at a general level in defining digital competence in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, which may be hierarchically organised. However, this does not provide the clarity needed by teachers, employers, citizens - all those who are responsible for digital competence development, be it their own or other people's  ‐ to make informed decisions. Further work is needed to create a common language that helps to enhance understanding across the worlds of research, education, training, and work. This will make it easier for citizens and employers to see what digital competence entails and how it is relevant to their jobs and more generally, their lives. 

Connect2Compete is a national nonprofit organization bringing together leaders from communities, the private sector, and leading foundations. Through our programs and the power of technology, we will improve the lives of Americans - regardless of their age, race, geography, income, or education level. The use of technology to access educational content is necessary to ensure future generations can compete in the global economy and to prepare them for the 21st century workforce. Connect2Compete will help Americans access technology through three exciting offers: free digital literacy training, discounted high-speed Internet, and low-cost computers. To promote the work, Connect2Compete will create a national outreach campaign focused on the importance of technology to develop digital skills and find new opportunities.

Selon un rapport, les moins de 20 ans, dits «génération Z» ne sont pas si compétents avec les nouvelles technologies. Ils les utiliseraient plus dans un but récréatif que formateur.
