To be able to express yourself is the key to sucess

After reading "Rigor Redefined" by Tony Wagner I learned what the world is expecting from us today.  From what I have heard my parent had much different expectation when they were young. Most everyone had pretty good communication skills. As our technology has progressed our generations skills to communicate in real life environment have rapidly decreased. It is much easier to just send someone an email or a text message. To have good communication skills and still keep up with the technology is key in this day and age. I would almost say our expectations have decreased in some areas of the work force. If a requirement as simple as being able to communicate is key, and other skills are not as important that shows what the world is like today. Our technology is great, but our communication skills should not suffer because of it. Our generation needs to work on being able to communicate in real world situations. As well as using our technology to our advantage to. As the world progresses, we need to adjust ourselves to change with it.
