Digital Intelligence (DI) has something to do with the skills needed to use technology more effectively. It’s not just being aware of vulnerabilities with overuse of screens or knowing when to disconnect from your device, digital intelligence must include debugging a computer or using all the features of your smartphone or checking from whom the mail came from, or checking the correct mail headers… and the list goes on and on.

DI will become vital for developing digital skills and digital profiles in this 21st Century digital age. There are eight basic DI principles that experts across the globe have identified and they are: (1) Identity – Managing a healthy online identity (2) Use – Self-monitoring screen-time usage (3) Security – Identifying situations of harassment and managing them (4) Protection – Detect threats and establish best practices, i.e. malware, etc. (5) Privacy – Sharing of personal information discreetly, (6) Critical Thinking – Distinguish between true and false, (7) Finger Prints – Managing online presence responsibly, knowing long-term consequences, (8) Empathy – Feelings of both yourself and others.

The majority of netizens treat online platforms and smartphones as though they are actually whispering in their best friend’s ears, seemingly unaware of the negative outcomes of sharing both personal and professional details in the virtual world and getting prone to social engineering attacks.

Social engineering is the practice/art of convincing people to compromise their electronic systems. Rather than targeting equipment or software, fraudsters target individuals who have access to information and manipulate their perceptions and make them divulge information using deception, influence, or persuasion tactics.

Summary:

We are in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, our lives become increasingly connected and the health and personal wellbeing of individuals will depend on how much we know about digital intelligence. Almost all age groups of people are already immersed in the digital world and they have everything at their fingertips so, therefore, it is equally important to create a safer ecosystem digitally that will help them to distinguish the credible and questionable information & behaviour on the internet.
