I have been using the term "literacy" when talking to my audiences, as a replacement for traditional literacy (reading, writing). I state that the capacity for humans to thrive will depend a great deal on being able to parse information in a timely fashion. I equate this to an individual who stands at the doorway of a library and has a panic attack, wondering how s/he will get through all of these books. Of course in an old-school, hard copy library, the culturally understood concept is not that 100% of the books must be read; but instead that individuals are comfortable navigating the library to locate areas of interest. When I address groups of people who express fear regarding information overload and the bewildering number of ways in which information can be delivered, I remind them that it's comfort and eventual sophistication in navigation - not wholesale gluttony of every available piece of data - that will help them survive and thrive. Hence the term "literacy" whether used by itself, or as "data literacy," is an essential component of humans' growth and evolution: becoming comfortable with the increasing speed and amount of information available to them. The good news, I remind them, which circles back to your mention of the Turing test, is that the human brain is extremely good at noticing relevant bits of data, once properly acclimatized. The even better news is that literacy in this form opens channels for innovation and invention that were once closed by an existing hierarchy. Think, for example, of the notion of crowdfunding versus the more traditional style of applying for a business loan or grant. The latter is old-school, formalized and tightly controlled, whereas crowdfunding is open, demographic and all-inclusive. Literacy is an evolving and very human thing – a new definition of an old word – a new standard for learning and communication.
