Each generation is integrating technology into the classroom at a younger age than the last, creating a generation of mini computer-wizzes.

An increase in the size of a country’s skilled workforce means more people in high paying job positions. This was seen in 2010 when the number of people living below the poverty line was at an all time low. Imagine what could happen in the future when the “computer-wiz” generation is all grown up.
