"The Information Age and The Cyber-Mental Age. Prior to the Cyber-Mental Age (2010), we had a large percentage of jobs that required only minimal literacy and numeracy.

Only about 27 percent of the US workforce has these abilities." (My comment as an HR-training & development professional - this is a trending challenge!)
