Let's Stop Talking About 21st Century Skills

I see a minor problem with the discussion that is going on about technology education today. We frequently talk about the 21st Century Skills students need. I propose that we stop talking about the 21st Century Skills, but move on to the 22nd Century Skills. There are only 92 years left in the 21st Century. It is very likely some of the kids we are teaching today will see the 22nd Century. I think we should start thinking now about what kids are going to need in the 22nd Century so we have a head start. I think we started behind when the year 2000 came. We didn't start talking about what the kids were going to need this century until at least 5 years into it. If we start thinking now for what kids will need for the 22nd Century, we might actually be ready for them when the year 2100 comes around.
