Today, author Herbert Blankesteijn presented NL DIGITAAL at the ECP annual conference. The first copy was presented to the members of the DigiRaad, a group of enthusiastic young people between 15 and 22 years out with the mission to raise awareness and inform young people about safe internet use.

NL DIGITAL is a mustread for anyone who wants to move around safely, securely and freely in our digital society. It covers 50 essentials of the digital world and reads very easily.

Through NL DIGITAL you will find out, for example:

• that 75% of all young people start the day with WhatsApp, and 75% of all older people with e-mail
• how encryption, blockchain, pagerank, TOR and bittorent work
• that the Internet has a Hall of Fame, and which Dutch people are in it
• how to properly secure your PC and smartphone (and why you probably haven't done so yet)
• that of all girls aged between 15 and 18, one in six is bullied online, and what you can do about it
• how using maths in online dating can help you find true love
• that the first chess computer was actually a dwarf in disguise
• how you can order a new pack of detergent at the touch of a button (next to the washing machine)
• how a Dutchman fooled the whole world with a video showing him flying like a bird with self-built wings

The CIO Platform Netherlands, together with some other parties, has helped to make NL DIGITAAL possible. We support the importance of this publication, as it will contribute to a greater awareness of digitalisation, something we all have to deal with. In an accessible way, this book will enable us to guide everyone, both inside and outside our organisations, into ‘our world’.
