Are you really web literate?

[rpm]

So you think you are web literate?

Mozilla published its Web Literacy Standard – a map of competencies and skills needed for reading, writing and participating on the web

Based on the citeria ..

Exploring
Navigating the web
Navigation
Using software tools to browse the web
Accessing the web using the common features of web browsers
Using hyperlinks to access a range of resources on the web
Reading, evaluating, and manipulating URLs
Recognizing the visual cues in everyday web services
Using browser add-ons and extensions to provide additional functionality

The above is about my expertise (or lack of) so I had to vote NO

Given the list in the article then probably over 90% of web users are illiterate.

Sort of like do you need to know how to repair the engine and bodywork of a car in addition to knowing how to drive it, even though you only use to drop the kids off at school versus ..... check your email and facebook.

I pretty much cover everything except for the building section (I only know a tiny bit of PHP at the moment - will continue learning in December).

Yeah, I call BS on this test. Why do you need to be able to code to be "Web literate"?

Do you need to be able to design a CPU to be computer literate? Do you need to be able to write to be literate, or do you need to be able to design and build a paper mill as well?

That 'Building for Web' section needs to come out from this list.Those are basic job requirements for web devs.

Change title to "Are you a web developer?"

They should put together a test.
