while it has become increasingly complex for those who produce and maintain technology. It is also pervasive and an integral part of growing up and being educated. As such the need for programs in technological literacy is diminished 5. The use of information technology in the workplace and the need to prepare students for careers that use information technology has long been the cornerstone of policies for the use of TL in raising productivity. This seems indisputable, but the market is a much stronger driver than policy in achieving this. Where policy can help is in reducing the digital divide that leave students from low income backgrounds stranded in low income jobs.5 It is also helpful in
