According to recent testing by Change the Equation, a consortium of business and education organizations, about 60% of millennials (those between ages 16 and 34) have "low" technology skills, despite spending about 35 hours each week on digital media. The trend could hurt millennials' future earning power, according to researchers. Using digital technology, communications tools and networks to get and analyze information, communicate with others and "perform practical tasks" are skills that earn higher salaries.
