Essential Skills for the 4th Industrial Revolution
According to a report by the World Economic Forum, by 2025 automation will already be as present in jobs as humans. Specifically, 47% of global work will be automated, compared to the 33% that was estimated to be in 2020, so the destruction of many jobs is expected, but also the creation of many others that don’t exist yet. To face this transformation process and adapt to the new job market, it will be necessary to acquire new skills and key competencies that will make a big difference between those who acquire them and those who do not.
Typing: speed and accuracy when programming
Typing is the ability to write without looking at the computer keyboard and using both hands. We must bear in mind that computers currently have word processors which incorporate dictionaries and are capable of detecting mistakes and correcting them, so that it is much faster to type, but with typewriters this process was slower and errors couldn’t be erased without a trace, so the speed and accuracy gained by a person who could learn to type was very important.
