Content
•Lack of local information (21 Million American’s)
•Literacy barriers (44 Million American’s)
•Language barriers (32 Million - 87% all Internet
documents in English)
•Lack of cultural diversity/paternalistic
content (26 Million)
•Est. 20% of all US citizen’s face 1 or more content barriers

•Technological literacy - Can I use common ICT tools effectively?
•Information literacy - Can I discern the quality of content?
•Adaptive literacy - Can I develop new skills along the way and apply
them effectively to my circumstances?
