According to FutureLearn, "Technology literacy combats unsafe and irresponsible usage of technology, and creates an effective environment for using tech. The term is tied in with digital literacy, which is the ability to understand and effectively use digital information. Technology literacy is relevant to all forms of technology, including computers, smartphones and tablets." Note the normative use of 'unsafe and irresponsible', which tells me it's more than just 'literacy'.
