Digital Illiterates

In the last days, we've read on newspapers, twitter, TV... how police and other security forces tried to stop some "hacker groups" and how they can't (from my view).

Nowadays, when we see somebody who didn't know write or read we think (so surprised) "I can't believe that there is still any people who cannot read and write without problem, shouldn't be any illiterate people in the world, we have to fight against this problem". But we must remember "El Quijote", novel where there is a guy who reads too much and people thought about him that he is crazy.

In the last ten years, a guy who takes so long with his/her computer was seen as a freak or an unsocial person even a crazy guy (remembers "El Quijote", right?)

I think those people is now carrying out the danger of become digital-illiterate. Those people could work as police and others security groups and they are trying to stop Anonymous, LulzSec and others like them.

Even more, some of them told "I challenge those hackers to attack again our company".  



I think: really? are you serious? Are you challenging people who can shutdown your PC on this moment? people who turn off all lights around your neighborhood? people who can access your personal data from the Play Station network? are you really challenging?

Now, we are starting the century when just a child sited on a little chair can attack your bank account and take out lots of dollars or euros  :)

Please, try to not to become a digital-illiterate...
