A 21st century learner? Technology?

What exactly is a 21st century learner. In my opinion to be a 21st century learner you have to be able to use a computer, tablet, smart phone etc. Without this knowledge you'd be a step behind a evolving society and it will be a lot harder to get a job is this society. To have a higher education get you a much better job whether you believe it or not it is true. if you work in your in business you can charge more for just the fact you have a degree. most jobs these days requires you to have a high school diploma. unfortunately colleges are getting more and more expensive so parents are holding their kids back for sports so they have a better chance of getting a scholarship coming out of high school to a college.
