Sorry, we think instead that they need such new competences: supposing that a systemic economic growth could be considered as a key to poverty reduction and increased prosperity and that a 'New Growth' based on knowledge‐based economies and societies models could be still expected, we could affirm that this model emphasize the importance of new knowledge, innovation, and the development of human capacity as the sources of sustainable economic growth. Citizens, in these information societies, will need to be prepared to new technology literacy competencies inclusive education regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, or language.
In order to cope with the extent and the speed of the changes provoked by the knowledge production and the world globalization, and in order to increase their own societies and ability to continue to develop and contribute to the knowledge in which the citizens will live, they need to own not anymore the so called 'competences for life' as they are 'universally' agreed, but also new technology literacy competencies inclusive of digital communication abilities, digital social interaction, digital facilitation of decision making, and 'learn to digital learning'.
