'Digital Natives': Growing up with new and old media in Australia

发展先进的数字素养对儿童的未来以及国家的文化、社会和经济福祉都很重要。数字扫盲不仅需要通信基础设施，还需要对人的技能进行有针对性的投资。投资于培养具有数字素养的澳大利亚人口已成为促进国家未来经济和社会福祉的明确手段。该项目提供的信息有可能大大有助于儿童在早年“健康地开始生活”。

Developing a sophisticated digital literacy is important for both the future of children, the cultural, social and economic well-being of the nation. Digital literacy requires not only communications infrastructure but targeted investment in human skills. Investing in the development of a digitally literate Australian population has become an explicit means for promoting the future economic and social well-being of the nation. The information provided by this project has the potential to contribute significantly to giving children 'a healthy start to life' in their early years.
