What tech skill do you think will be as basic as typing is today?

[Rhys74]

Typing used to be a specialized office skill and now it's just assumed everyone can do it reasonably well. Curious what skill people think follows that exact same path over the next couple decades. Doesn't need to be dramatic, just genuinely likely eventually

My guess leans toward some form of basic prompting or instructing AI tools effectively, similar to how search literacy quietly became a baseline expectation. Knowing how to ask for what you actually want turns out to be a real skill most people currently learn by trial and error. Feels like something schools eventually formalize teaching properly

What's your prediction for the next universally assumed tech skill. Curious how differently people are thinking about this
