Computer training

In his 1972 paper, Luehrmann used the term computing literacy rather than computer literacy. Evidently readers of his paper and other people people began using the term computer literacy rather than computing literacy. In 1981, the company he helped to found was named Computer Literacy Press.
The term computer literacy is usually attributed to Arthur Luehrman. At an April 1972 American Federation of Information Processing Societies (AFIPS) conference, Luehrmann gave a talk titled "Should the computer teach the student, or vice-versa." This talk was later published in Robert Taylor's 1980 book, The Computer in the School: Tutor, Tool, Tutee (Teachers College Press). The paper is available online.
Luehrman's more recent insights are available in a 2002 article, "Should the computer teach the student... — 30 years later." In this article, he laments that the world's educational systems have not made much progress in integrating computer literacy instruction throughput the everyday curriculum. Quoting from the 2002 article:
Computer literacy is the knowledge and ability to use computers and technology efficiently. Computer literacy can also refer to the comfort level someone has with using computer programs and other applications that are associated with computers. Another valuable component of computer literacy is knowing how computers work and operate. As of 2005, having basic computer skills is a significant asset in the developed countries.
