Sides of the Pyramid

Ok so last time I looked at the idea of a pyramid and the levels of digital literacy but could there be more to it than that. Could it be a 3/4 sided pyramid? Each side is a different aspect of being digitally literate. Someone who reaches the top on all sides would then be a digital literacy expert. What could the aspects used on each side then be? What is actually required to become digitally literate? Some ideas for thought are:

Cognitive Development (Piaget's four stages)
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Learning Styles (Activist, Pragmatist, Theorist, Reflector)

Could a higher digital literacy level be partially contributed by content and partially by social context? This requires further thought...
