Misquoting for click-bait?
El Reg: Baroness Morgan, chair of the committee, said from an early age digital literacy must be given as much importance as numeracy and literacy.
That's not what the report actually says. It actually says "digital and technology skills should be considered complementary to numeracy and literacy."
In my dictionary, complementary does not mean "has equal priority".
El Reg:: "The report also suggests that the internet is given the same importance as any other utility"
Once again. That's not what the report says. It actually says The Government should make it its ambition to ensure universal access for the entire population.
That's quite a long way from suggesting that fresh drinking water and not dying from hypothermia are no more important than getting some Facebook updates.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
