Take Uber for example. While the experience is hugely popular and generally pain free, there is room for enhancement — especially for large groups travelling together. Currently, a group must problem-solve in order to figure out how many “ubers” to call and and how many passengers can fit in each of them. Who is ordering the cars? Who is
The OECD project looked at a broad range of job-related skills, but of most interest to us is the test of technology skills.
