	踏入21世紀，科技已融入我們的日常生活中，成為我們生活中不可或缺的一部分。生活在今天的科技世界裏，我們除了需要具備基本的閱讀、寫作、運算能力外，亦應明白科技帶來的影響。因此，我們亦應該裝備自己，靈活並有效地善用科技，並以正面的態度來解決在家庭、社會、世界上日常遇到的問題，尋求新的解決方案、創造新產品、改善服務，提升人類的生活質素。
	資訊及通訊科技內有不少技能需要「資訊素養」。「資訊素養」涉及有效地挑選、組織、分析及使用資訊的能力。當代社會所有人都認為快速及有效地存取資訊是非常重要的，而在香港這個知識型社會裏，能否善用收集得來的資訊以建構所需的知識，已成為個人在學習和發展上能否成功的必要條件。作為21世紀的公民，我們必須懂得及運用資訊及通訊科技，方可在社會上更有效地發揮個人才能。

	In the 21st century, technology has become an integral part of our life. Citizens of today require much more than a basic ability to read, write, and do simple mathematics. To live in the modern world, we must understand how technology affects us. In this regard, we must be equipped to use technology effectively and flexibly to solve daily problems with positive attitude at home, in the community, and around the world; and to create new solutions, products, and services for the well-being of humankind.
	Many of the skills of ICT are important aspects of Information Literacy, which relates to the ability to select, organise, analyse and use information effectively. Quick and effective access to information is regarded as essential for everyone in contemporary society; and the ability to construct knowledge from the information gathered has become crucial in Hong Kong’s knowledge-based society. Citizens in the 21st century need to understand and be able to use ICT in order to function efficiently in modern society.
