15. National Research Council (1999)
“People fluent with information technology
are able to express themselves creatively, to
reformulate knowledge, and to synthesize
new information. Fluency with information
technology entails a process of lifelong
learning in which individuals continually apply
what they know to adapt to change and
acquire more knowledge to be more effective
at applying information technology to their
work and personal lives.”

simple Google search
