The challenges associated with implementing Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 in Indonesia need to be carefully analyzed to develop suitable and actionable solutions. Despite its initiation in 2011 and the subsequent introduction of Society 5.0 in Japan in 2019, Indonesia still encounters several hurdles in adopting Industry 4.0. Digital skills are crucial for the education of the future, complementing traditional literacy with new knowledge and abilities rather than replacing it. Educational institutions like universities must adjust their curricula to cultivate the development of 21st-century skills, known as the 4Cs: communication, critical thinking, creative thinking, and collaboration. Data was gathered through questionnaires and open-ended responses. This study was involving 62 students indicated that their digital literacy levels fall within the lower middle range. In detail, 67.74% of participants demonstrated an adequate level of critical thinking, while 19.35% exhibited a high level, and 12.9% had low essential thinking skills. Notably, critical thinking is a significant predictor of digital literacy skills for 46.6% of students in the economic education program at Musamus University, Merauke.

Keterampilan digital menjadi bagian penting dalam pendidikan masa depan karena merupakan bagian dari sistem pendidikan modern, namun tidak menggantikan keaksaraan tradisional, melainkan melengkapinya dengan pengetahuan dan atribut baru.
