I think many of the skills have changed since the 20th century and are important like research and creativity. These skills will be important even in the future. Many jobs may require you to find information to make reports. You may do research to find how to improve your company or research better marketing ways. Schools need to be teaching us how to surf the internet and find the right information and correct information. They should also be teaching us how to use the most basic software eg. Word, Excel, and Power Point. Even if these programs may not be used in 10 years it's still important to have some kind of basic knowledge. We will always be updating and improving that is a fact that we cannot escape. But that doesn't mean that we should not even bother to learn. Your creativity is what makes you unique and different form another company. It helps you promote yourself, allowing you to build a good financial base (through marketing). Being able to be creative means making plans that are inclusive to everyone. You want to be able to set yourself apart from your competition and a creative mind allows that.
