Digital literacy, the subject of study of this article, is the result of critical thinking and seeks to enhance the methods of study by information technology. The research question addressed here is to understand how digital literacy can contribute to lifelong learning. The goal is to draw a parallel between literacy and digital information and lifelong learning. As methodology adopted, a literature review was carried out, both nationally and internationally, on the teaching and learning process, information literacy, digital and lifelong learning. Thisresearch is descriptive in nature in a qualitative basis. The main results observed were that digital literacy leads to a variety of reading and writing practices through information technology. These bring new possibilities for educators and learners, professionals and users, transcending the simple act of decoding signals or searching the Internet. Being digitally literate leads to the understanding that information technology goes beyond new forms of access to information, but also to new cognitive processes and forms of knowledge. It is an arduous and pleasurable work to keep up-to-date through time, through a personal effort, involving courses and training as a source of learning and development of work together with specialists. In short, we must search lifelong learning, following the technological evolution, and for that, being fearless of technologies and of the use of digital media.
