Illiteracy is no longer the lack of reading and writing skills. It has taken a further dimension in the present technology- oriented community we live in.  Illiteracy in the use of computer has become as much risky, especially after the increasing involvement of the computer in education and knowledge in general. NCB took care of this mater.NCB made great strides from 2006 - 2007 in the field of eradicating electronic illiteracy among university students by setting up 24 labs in different 14 Universities in 10 different cities around the Kingdom 

in 2008 and 2009, the program particularly addressed the Blind when NCB set up computer labs in Al Nour institutes for the blind as well as in schools intended for integrating the Blind in the education system.  These projects were completed in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, whereby computer labs for the Blind were set up in schools.  The labs were equipped with "screen reader internal talking program" systems to enable the Blind to handle the technical content and browse the Internet through talking programs. 26 Labs were set up in 11 cities Kingdom-wide.
