I was asked this question in an interview. And it makes me think since after... Just to list some ideas here. Technology literacy includes: knowledge (facts, concepts, principles, etc.) of related technology skills attitudes (how it is related to personal life, learning and career, and how it is related to the society; why it is important to have technology literacy...)
