Many employers are now recruiting candidates who have knowledge and experience in information technology or those who are computer literate. Therefore, potential candidates should master at least some level of computer literacy.

There are also evidence that the level of basic and advanced computer literacy of male students are significantly higher than female students; those who owned computers are significantly more computer literate in terms of basic and advanced computer literacy than those who did not own computers; and finally, previous computer experience is not generally related to computer literacy achievement, except for self-efficacy computer literacy level.
