Critical Thinking Response:
I have prepared myself to under the digital economy by reading the Wall Street Journal almost every day and all the article in TIME magazine and any other publication I can find that has that information in it.
I see technology making almost ALL jobs request some if not a lot of technical skill. Even in manual labor jobs, there may be tools or vehicles that require technical knowledge.
I believe the skill that will be most valuable upon my release will be the understanding and ability to work on computer, artifical intelligence, and understanding some basics of coding.
