Essential Skills?
LifeHack has an interesting list of the 10 Skills You Need to Succeed at Almost Anything. Lots of good stuff, but nothing about technology/computers. Should there be? Or does the development of those other skills (math, decision-making, networking, etc.) ensure that one will be able to succeed in our increasingly technology-rich world? Is facility with technology a fundamental skill unto itself or does the development of other parts of our brains help us to conquer whatever new tools come down the pipe? Many of the Digg commenters responding to the story indicated that #11 should be computers. I must say that I certainly agree with the authors that the 10 skills they did identify are indeed necessary in our world; I’m just not sure that their list is complete…
