Abstract :
Digital literacy includes the ability to understand the information and use it in various formats from various sources presented by modern information and communication technologies. It is known that different regions of the country have different value of digital literacy index. The state tends to support the development of digital literacy in communities with the lowest index. Due to the large number of data that must be processed to determine the digital literacy index up to now research were done only in particular regions. In this paper we presented the program that can determine the value of digital literacy index in territorial unit smaller than the region. We studied the value of this parameter for any municipality and for the data processing we used the neural networks.
