Computational Thinking: It is the ability to translate huge data into abstract concepts and to understand data-based reasoning. As the amount of data available increases exponentially, many more roles will require computational thinking skills in order to make sense of the information. There will be a shift to statistical analysis and quantitative reasoning skills.

New Media Literacy: It is the ability to critically assess and develop content that uses new media forms, and to leverage these media for persuasive communication. The next generation of workers will need to be fluent in forms such as video and should be able to critically read and assess them in the same way that they currently assess a paper or presentation.
