According to a recent study in the U.K., one in seven workers needs help turning their office computers on or off. And one in five needs help saving or printing a document. Government officials are bemoaning this lack of "prerequisite IT skills." If turning on a computer is considered an IT skill, you have to wonder if turning on a microwave is considered a culinary skill. Maybe turning on a calculator is a math skill.
