As time changes, as each generation passes by, and as the world grows older and more mature, a revolution becomes imminent. We have experienced this in the past and, although many of us don't really know, we are experiencing one right now. A revolution is a rapid change in the everyday lives of every individual in the world. The agricultural revolution transformed nomadic lifestyle into a more settled way of life. The industrial revolution transformed the agricultural and farming lifestyle into an industrial approach to every day items. People stopped doing everything for themselves and became more interdependent. We have experience that when a way of life becomes too monotonous, the world as an entire community, must experience a revolution. Today, we live in the information age, where we have an abundance of information. This is a drastic change from the industrial age, when information was scarce. This is why, it is extremely important to learn how to extract useful information in this age. It is no longer important to memorize historical facts, because they are only a click away on the web. In the information age, technology plays an extremely important part in the lives of individuals of every age. Therefore, this is another set of skill that needs to be taught to our youngsters in order to allow them to succeed in life. As the age of the factory comes to an end and the age of call centers and super computers takes over, it is important for us to adapt to this rapid change in our everyday lifestyle and learn what most call "21st century skills".

Adaptation is the key to survival for any species, this is why, adapting to the 21st century skills is also very important for our survival

Classes need to change from the "teacher talks and students listen" format to a more discussion based approach to education. Another very important key to teaching the 21st century skills is making sure that our teachers know more, or atleast as much technology as the students do. Teachers can't really teach 21st century skills without knowing them themselves.

Students immersed in authentic learning activities cultivate the kinds of "portable skills" that newcomers to any discipline have the most difficulty acquiring on their own: * The judgment to distinguish reliable from unreliable information * The patience to follow longer arguments * The synthetic ability to recognize relevant patterns in unfamiliar contexts * The flexibility to work across disciplinary and cultural boundaries to generate innovative solutions Learning researchers have distilled the essence of the authentic learning experience down to 10 design elements, providing educators with a useful checklist that can be adapted to anysubject matter domain.1.  Real-world relevance: Authentic activities match the real-world tasks of professionals in practice as nearly as possible. Learning rises to the level of authenticity when it asks students to work actively with abstract concepts, facts, and formulae inside a realistic-and highly social-context mimicking "the ordinary practices of the [disciplinary] culture."2.  Ill-defined problem: Challenges cannot be solved easily by the application of an existing algorithm; instead, authentic activities are relatively undefined and open to multiple interpretations, requiring students to identify for themselves the tasks and subtasks needed to complete the major task. 3.  Sustained investigation: Problems cannot be solved in a matter of minutes or even hours. Instead, authentic activities comprise complex tasks to be investigated by students over a sustained period of time, requiring significant investment of time and intellectual resources. 4.  Multiple sources and perspectives: Learners are not given a list of resources. Authentic activities provide the opportunity for students to examine the task from a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives, using a variety of resources, and requires students to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information in the process. 5.  Collabora
