Thus, digital literacy that involves language, visual, computer, and information literacies is required by all in the new Digital Age to meet development. This study examines digital literacy and the effects of cultural change in the 21st Century. It uses the German Sociologist, Max Weber’s Social Stratification Theory as theoretical framework to measure the dissertation. The analytical dissertation deduces the implications of digital technology on the cultural change in the new age. The narrative treatise discusses the research questions, draws conclusions from the summary and recommendations.
