This article concerns the relatively new problem of illiteracy relating to persons previously being literate, which is caused by too intensive using of so-called digital media (TV, computers, tablets, smartphones, e-book readers, portable media players, etc.). The problem has been observed for several years mainly in countries with high economic and technological development. The widespread use of digital media and the ease of their use as well as access to many functions and features, lead their users to performing even simple mental tasks with help of digital media. As many studies show, it affects the condition of human mind. Apart from so strongly detrimental effects such as digital dementia and digital addiction, ceding the easy tasks, so far performed by people themselves, to the digital media causes a loss of basic mental skills. Probably, the most common example would be the use of a calculator for making the basic arithmetical operations on integer numbers in the range to one hundred. In most of countries children master this skill usually at the beginning of primary school. This kind of illiteracy can be described as secondary, returning or acquired illiteracy. To counteract this negative phenomenon it is necessary to design the user interface in a such way that supports and strongly activates mental processes inside the human mind. This article contains a few recommendations for the design of user interfaces and sample proposals for changes in existing interfaces.
