For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a course that considers the computer’s impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy (读写能力); it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities.

A. try to lay a solid foundation in computer science B. be aware of how the things that they use do what they do C. learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skills D. understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car.42.
