Digital readiness is simply the ability to use digital tools with ease. In other words, digital readiness refers to how “ready” or how comfortable an individual is with digital technology. Along the same lines, digital competence refers to the confident and critical use of the full range of digital technologies for information, communication and basic problem-solving in all aspects of life. It can be easy to assume that most people are comfortable with using digital technology, but, unfortunately, this is untrue.
