Abstract

According to the statistical data, in year 2011 2% of inhabitants in Croatia have not get any basic education and 10% have not finished the basic education (primary school), and 53% of inhabitants have finished only secondary education. This is to conclude that inhabitants

Term literacy is no longer associated only with the ability to read and write is already well advanced in all areas of life. In such an environment it is difficult to imagine that there are people who have not even mastered the basics of reading and writing. When asked how these same people live with the help of digital technology, as they have access, acceptable and useful is described in this paper.
